TOP 50: ANOTHER #1 FOR ONE, PESO'S HISTORIC BOW
Big Loud/Mercury/Republic's Morgan Wallen cruises to a 15th nonconsecutive week at #1 on the HITS Top 50 with One Thing at a Time. The year's top album, now approaching 3.4m units YTD, adds another 108k to its total. Republic earns a 17th consecutive week at #1.
WMG's Young Thug scores the top debut with Business Is Business, which enters at #2 with 88k. Kelly Clarkson lands a Top 5 bow with Chemistry.
Mexican streaming star Peso Pluma makes history with his debut LP, GÉNESIS (Double P/Prajin Parlay); at #3 with 73k, it opens with the biggest week ever for a regional Mexican album. That title was previously held by Eslabon Armado's Desvelado (Del/Ingrooves), which had the highest-charting (#6) and biggest regional MX week (44k) back in April.
Republic's Taylor Swift lands nine albums in the Top 50. Midnights leads at #4.
Streeting this week are new projects by WMG's Lil Uzi Vert, Warner Music Latina's Natanael Cano, NEON16's Tainy and Dirty Hit's The Japanese House.
