TOP 20: LET'S TRY THAT AGAIN

Never let it be said we got it right on the first (or second) try.

A data-reporting error last weekend resulted in substantially overstated album sales this week for Travis Scott’s UTOPIA (Cactus Jack/Epic). Following the correction of that error, UTOPIA moves down to #3, with our projection now at 67k.

Zach Bryan’s new, self-titled album will hang on to #1 for a second week with a total slightly north of 100k.

In light of Jimmy Buffett’s death over the weekend, his Songs You Know by Heart (Geffen) appears headed for a Top 5 bow, the highest chart position for the album in the modern era and the first time it's appeared on the overall chart since the introduction of streaming.

Now, if you’ll excuse us, we have to sack those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked.
