YOUR TOP 20:
RODRIGO-A-GO-GO

Olivia Rodrigo’s 11-track debut, SOUR (Geffen), continues to astonish. In the absence of ticket or merchandise bundles, few, if any, other new releases have grown so rapidly during their first weeks. Thanks to a 20% increase Sunday to Monday in audio streams, we can raise the projected activity to 265k. As we reported on 5/24, SOUR will collect the most first-week streams of any debut album by a female artist, beating the 203m of Cardi B’s Invasion of Privacy by a wide margin. SOUR is currently projected at 250m+ streams. How high can it go? Look for updates every day this week.

In honor of Olivia's "good 4 u" video, a HITS editor dusted off and squeezed into a cheerleader outfit from 1983 today. And despite the passage of time, he felt he looked damn good.
