CHART FINAL: SMOKE RISES TO THE TOP

Pop Smoke's second posthumous album, Faith (Victor Victor/Republic), opens at #1 on the HITS Top 50 with 91k units. Columbia's John Mayer is close behind at #2 with Sob Rock, which posts 87k for the biggest rock debut of the year.

Once sales figures are sorted, Bo Burnham and Moneybagg Yo's battle for #10—they are separated by a mere 200 units—could leave Republic with four titles in the Top 10.

Clairo's Sling (Fader/Republic) and ILLENIUM's Fallen Embers (12Tone/Warner) are the top debuts, at #29 and #38, respectively.
