A BUSTLING TOP 20

From what we see at midweek, Friday's Top 20 will boast one debut each for the three major distributors. Kemosabe/RCA’s Doja Cat will deliver a Top 5 bow for Sony with Scarlet; Warner’s red-hot Zach Bryan and his surprise five-track EP, Boys of Faith, will give WMG a new Top 10 entry; and Lil Tecca’s TEC (Galactic/Republic) will open in the Top 15 for UMG. Olivia Rodrigo’s GUTS (Geffen), meanwhile, is headed back to #1, besting last week’s winner, Nostalgia (Alamo), by Rod Wave.

Now, if you’ll excuse us, we must go spike the pumpkin spice latte we ordered earlier.
