TOP 20: TAYLOR'S WAY

Taylor Swift’s Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) (Republic) is headed for a #1 bow with a first-week total at, or very near, 700k, making it the biggest yet of her re-recorded albums. Combined audio and video streams will be close to 300m.

This also gives Republic its 19th week at #1 so far this year—two-thirds of 2023's 28 weeks. The House of Lipman, which has dominated current marketshare in 2023, should become the #1 label group in YTD overall share as of this chart.

Now, if you'll excuse us, we've got to see about selling a kidney to pay for Eras Tour tickets.
