A PARTICULARLY STRONG TOP 20

August 23, 2023

Five debuts, one re-entry and a lot of Taylor Swift drive this week's Top 20 to one of the strongest non-holiday iterations we've seen in a while.

Five debuts, one re-entry and a lot of Taylor Swift drive this week’s Top 20 to one of the strongest non-holiday iterations we’ve seen in a while. Columbia’s Hozier leads new titles at midweek with nearly 55k and a possible Top 5 bow. RussSANTIAGO (DIEMON/gamma.), which isn’t far behind at 52k, could be the spoiler of Hozier's Top 5 debut. Republic will hold down half of the Top 10 and post eight entries in the Top 20, while j-hope is looking to re-enter at #3 with the physical release of Jack in the Box (BIGHIT/Geffen).

Now, if you'll excuse us, it's time for happy hour.
