TOP 20: THEIR TIME
Republic could have as many as 10 entries in this week’s Top 20, including two each by Morgan Wallen and The Weeknd and four from Taylor Swift.
Wallen’s One Thing at a Time (Big Loud/Mercury/Republic) will log its eighth week at #1, while Agust D, aka Suga from BTS, scores the top new entry as his D-Day (BIGHIT/Geffen) opens at #2. NBA/Motown’s YoungBoy Never Broke Again places his latest in the Top 5.
Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions (Republic), part of Swift’s Folklore deluxe rollout, saw its first physical release in the form of exclusive Record Store Day vinyl. Its 17 tracks have been available to stream since 2020 but will get their own entry this week while the OG Folklore remains Top 15. How many of Taylor's fans own turntables? It's a beguiling question.
Now, if you'll excuse us, we've got to try on our chaps and spurs for Stagecoach.
NOW WHAT?
We have no fucking idea.
