#1 is up for grabs this week as none of the new releases will offer a challenge. Can Youngboy Never Broke Again remain on top in his second week? Will Pop Smoke, who has held strong in the runner-up spot for several weeks return to the top? Or will Taylor Swift return to #1 for a seventh non-consecutive week—driven by signed copies of folklore at her online store?

Stay tuned. In the mean time, here are the new release projections:

Alicia Keys (RCA) 50-55k total activity, 40-45k albums
Lil Tecca (Galactic/Republic) 35-40k, 2-3k
Moneybagg Yo & Blac Youngsta (N-Less/Interscope) 35-40k, 1-2k
Keith Urban (Capitol Nashville) 35-40k, 25-28k
