TOP 20: CHICKS PICKED TO CLICK

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.
