Chart Preview: Great "Expectations"
Interscope’s Olivia Rodrigo will log a fourth week at #1 with her summer blockbuster you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love. Enhanced two weeks ago with a smash remix of “Expectations” featuring Chappell Roan, the set ties Drake for the second-most weeks at #1 so far this year. We’ll let you guess who has the most.
O-Rod’s ready for Christmas. Are you?
Halloween and new vinyl iterations lift Michael Jackson’s Thriller (Legacy) to #2, with the block of Big Loud/Mercury’s Morgan Wallen, SAWGOD/Columbia’s Ella Langley and Mercury’s Noah Kahan set to—say it with us—round out the Top 5.
The week’s most prominent debuts belong to two HYBE-backed artists: Illit, whose EP Break Even (Belift Lab/Geffen) is likely looking at 35k, good for #6, followed by UnitedMasters’ BigXthaPlug at #7 with Better Over Time. Matador’s Queens of the Stone Age, meanwhile, prepare to make a regal entrance at #15 with Perfecth.
