A MAINSTREAM TOP 20

As many as eight new releases could finish in the Top 20 this week, with Bad Boy/Interscope’s Machine Gun Kelly leading the way. His mainstream sellout is projected to do close to 95k its first week, split almost evenly between sales and streams.

Alamo/SME’s Lil Durk remains at #2 with 7220, and Olivia Rodrigo's SOUR (Geffen) leaps back into the Top 5 just days ahead of Music’s Biggest Night. Meanwhile, Republic could have six entries in the Top 15, including debuts by Daddy Yankee and Nigo.

Now if you don’t mind, we must return to bulk-ordering snacks on Amazon Fresh for Sunday night's Grammys.
