NEW RELEASES: DURK, CARTI SAVE XMAS

The top debuts on the next HITS Top 50 belong to Christmas Eve and Christmas Day releases from Alamo/Geffen/Interscope's Lil Durk and AWGE/Interscope's Playboi Carti, respectively.

Carti's Whole Lotta Red seems a likely candidate for a #1 debut with activity in the 125-135k range. Count out Taylor Swift at your peril, however; who knows what she has up her sleeve for a potential third week on top with evermore (Republic)?

Lil Durk’s The Voice, released on Thursday (12/24), will see its first full week come in at 50-55k, having debuted with a one-day total of around 25k.

We now resume the heavy pours and sweets we started on Boxing Day.
