NEW RELEASES: LIL BABY, BAD BUNNY IMPACT(UPDATE)

Lil Baby's My Turn will run away with the #1 spot this week on the strength of huge streams—over 55m in the first day. Bad Bunny's Saturday release, YHLQMDLG is likely to be #2 as it also piles on the streams. James Taylor should see a top five bow thanks to a ticket bundle which will make up the bulk of his sales.
