TOP 20: RE-CERTIFIED

Drake’s Certified Lover Boy (OVO/Republic) stays on top in its second week with a projection of 220k. Interscope/MCA Nashville’s Kacey Musgraves and Columbia’s Baby Keem are due to debut in the Top 5. Metallica’s self-titled release, meanwhile, gets the Deluxe 30th Anniversary treatment; Metallica still holds the record as the best-seller in the pre-consumption, modern chart era at over 17m copies.
