Depending on how Taylor Swift’s physical CDs trend this week, folklore (Republic) could see a fourth week at #1. Or it could see a challenge from Juice WRLD's resurgent Legends Never Die (Grade A/Interscope) or Pop Smoke's very steady Shoot For The Stars, Aim For The Moon (Victor Victor/Republic). Watch this space for more.
Young Dolph’s Rich Slave (Paper Route/EMPIRE) breaks out as the week’s top debut at 25-30k. RCA Nashville/Zone 4’s Kane Brown will see his Mixtape, Vol. 1 EP open with 15-18k.
On the track side, Drake f/Lil Durk’s "Laugh Now Cry Later" (OVO/Republic) appears headed for 35-40m on-demand audio streams.
