Charts

MIDWEEK PROJECTIONS: THE ETERNAL STRUGGLE

April 1, 2025

Playboi Carti's MUSIC (AWGE/Interscope) and Ariana Grande's eternal sunshine (Republic) appear to be headed for a photo finish on Friday's HITS Top 50; at midweek our projections have only 1k—barely any daylight—between them.

Carti, who continues his strong streaming run, will finish the week with more than 100m on-demand audio streams. Grande's sunshine vaults into #1 contention with the brighter days ahead deluxe version. Meanwhile, XO/Republic's NAV and Alamo's Lil Durk look solid for Top 5 debuts.
