DOJA, ZACH, TECCA LEAD NEW RELEASES: UPDATE

UPDATE: We've upgraded the projection for Doja Cat’s Scarlet (Kemosabe/RCA), the week's top debut, to 60-70k as streaming activity has increased for project. Doja's "Agora Hills," which appears to be the next single from the album, hit a new peak of #6 at Spotify U.S. and is growing at Apple Music.

An EP by Warner’s Zach Bryan, the five-track surprise Boys of Faith, is projecting 45-50k. Lil Tecca’s new album, TEC (Galactic/Republic), will open in the 30-35k range. The activity of all three is almost entirely from streaming.

After surrendering the top spot to Rod Wave last week, Olivia Rodrigo’s GUTS (Geffen) has the edge for a return to #1.

Doja Cat (Kemosabe/RCA): 60-70k
Zach Bryan (Warner): 45-50k
Lil Tecca (Galactic/Republic): 30-35k
