Olivia Rodrigo continues her impressive start with SOUR, which will log a second week at #1. DMX is the sole new album today thanks to a light holiday-weekend release schedule.

The current record for most vinyl sales in a single week is held by Jack White's Lazaretto, which moved 40k copies in June 2014.
Juice WRLD's Goodbye & Good Riddance adds a "Lucid Dreams" remix feat. Lil Uzi Vert and new cut "734" for its three-year anniversary.
