UPDATE: A TOSS-UP FOR #1

With key data delayed, we'll be putting our Top 50 chart final on hold for the time being. But as things stand, SZA’s SOS (TDE/ RCA) is in a dead heat with Republic's Taylor Swift after the latter dropped four new digital album covers for Midnights with exclusive "Behind the Song" bonus material—which were available for one day only.

The first chart of 2023 will also see Republic holding down five spots in the Top 10. In addition to Swift, they include Metro Boomin at #3 and Drake & 21 Savage at #4, followed by Morgan Wallen just outside the Top 5.

Stay tuned for updates on this and Kevin McCarthy's 900th vote. Have you noticed he's starting to look like Gollum?
