TOP 50: 12 WEEKS FOR WALLEN, A SZA SPIKE AND MORE TAY

Big Loud/Mercury/Republic's Morgan Wallen logs a 12th consecutive week at #1 on the HITS Top 50 with his blockbuster set One Thing at a Time. The 36-track album adds 127k to its year-leading total. It appears to be a few weeks away from passing the 3m mark in YTD activity.

TDE/RCA's SZA returns to #2 on the chart as vinyl shipments of SOS are delivered. The album, which spent eight weeks at #1 earlier this year, increases 41% to 71k.

Taylor Swift's Midnights lands at #3 as the Republic superstar drops another deluxe package, the Til Dawn Edition, occasioning further exclusive physical product for fans to collect. Swift logs nine albums in the Top 50.

Swift and Wallen have four albums in the Top 6 this week.

RCA's Dave Matthews Band earns the top debut with Walk Around the Moon. The group's 10th studio album bows with 44k. Capitol's Lewis Capaldi posts a Top 15 debut with his sophomore LP, Broken by Desire To Be Heavenly Sent, which opened at #1 in the U.K.

Other activity to note: Warner Nashville's Bailey Zimmerman maintains a Top 10 presence with Religiously, which bowed last week; Summer Walker's Clear 2: Soft Life EP (LVRN/Interscope) enters at #22; and Beyoncé's RENAISSANCE (Parkwood/Columbia) rises to #25.

Also streeting this week are new projects by Alamo's Lil Durk, Transgressive's Arlo Parks, Darkroom/Interscope's d4vd and Atlantic's Kodak Black as well as Disney's soundtrack to The Little Mermaid.

We've yet to secure our tickets to the Eras Tour, but no worries, we are investing in Powerball tickets as a backup option. See the full chart here.
