MIDWEEKS: THE RACE IS ON

April 22, 2025

A tight, three-way race is underway for #1 on this week’s HITS Top 50. In its 125th week of release, SZA’s SOS (TDE/RCA) is positioned, along with Morgan Wallen’s two-year-old One Thing at a Time (Big Loud/Mercury/Republic) and Kendrick Lamar’s GNX (pgLang/Interscope), to finish on top. Doechii’s Alligator Bites Never Heal (TDE/Capitol) is also seeing an increase following its wide physical release.

Now, if you’ll excuse us, we must plan our Stagecoach outfits.
