NEW RELEASES: A POSTY PROJECTION

June 6, 2022

Mercury/Republic's Post Malone is the frontrunner for #1 on this week's HITS Top 50. Could Bad Bunny play spoiler?

Post Malone's fourth album, Twelve Carat Toothache (Mercury/Republic), is heading toward a projected opening of 115-130k and the possibility of Malone's third consecutive #1 debut. While Posty is currently in the lead, we're paying close attention to Rimas' Bad Bunny, whose latest is showing remarkable staying power in its fourth week. Could the global superstar play the part of spoiler by Friday?

K-pop act SEVENTEEN will land in the Top 10 with SEVENTEEN 4th Album 'Face the Sun' (PLEDIS/Geffen) and activity of 38-43k.

Now, if you'll excuse us, we're planning our own Jubilee honoring two years of eating ice cream for breakfast.
