TOP 20: CHICKS PICKED TO CLICK

July 23, 2020

Posthumous releases from Juice WRLD and Pop Smoke will vie for #1 on this week's HITS Top 50, while The Chicks will have the biggest debut.

Two posthumous releases will compete for the Top spot on this week's HITS Top 50. Juice WRLD's Legends Never Die (Grade A/Interscope) and Pop Smoke's Shoot For The Stars Aim For The Moon (Victor Victor/Republic) are each aiming for 115k+ this week. For today, we’re giving Legends the slight edge. Juice WRLD is coming off the year's biggest first week while Pop Smoke rebounds with a Deluxe version. The Chicks' Gaslighter (Columbia) is the week's highest charting debut at #3 and Jhené Aiko’s Chilombo (Def Jam) re-enters the Top 10 with its Deluxe release.
