TOP 50: REPUBLIC, SWIFT & HOLIDAYS RULE
With Taylor Swift's 1989 (Taylor's Version) moving back to #1, Republic holds the top six titles on this week's HITS Top 50—a feat that has yet to be achieved by a label in the modern chart era. Swift has five albums in the Top 10, including Midnights at #3, folklore at #5 and Lover at #6.
Drake slides down a notch to #2 with For All the Dogs (OVO/Republic), while Morgan Wallen moves up to #4 with One Thing at a Time (Big Loud/Mercury/Republic). House Lipman has 10 of the Top 20 albums.
Swift's return to #1 gives the megastar her 66th week atop the album chart. She's now one week away from tying Elvis Presley for the second-most weeks at the summit. Could Swift surpass The King before year's end? The Beatles, BTW, enjoy the most weeks at #1 with 132.
Reprise's Michael Bublé leads holiday titles at #7 with Christmas, followed by Nat King Cole's Christmas Song (Capitol) at #13 and Mariah Carey's Merry Christmas (Columbia) at #15.
