TOP 20: DABABY IS UP

DaBaby will, at least temporarily, unseat Post Malone from the #1 spot on Friday's HITS Top 50. This will be the ninth week that Interscope has held the #1 spot in 2019, tying it with Republic for the most weeks this year.

Unless Kanye’s long-touted Jesus Is King album makes an appearance this weekend, next week could be a tie-breaker as both DaBaby and Post will likely vie for the summit. The Beatles' Abbey Road will re-enter the Top 5 at #3 thanks to its 50th Anniversary edition.
