Geffen's Olivia Rodrigo returns to #1 on the HITS Top 50 with GUTS, which posts 90k in its third week. The pop phenom's sophomore set is now approaching 700k in activity for the year. Last week's chart-topper, Alamo's Rod Wave, slides to #2 with Nostalgia, earning 84k in its second week.
Kemosabe/RCA's Doja Cat scores the top debut with her rap album, Scarlet. With 69k, her fourth full-length earns the biggest opening for an album by a female rap artist this year.
Warner wild card Zach Bryan delivered another surprise for his fans with a brand new EP, Boys of Faith, which premieres at #7 with 47k. The five-track project arrives just four weeks after Zach Bryan, holding steady at #5. The Oklahoman's American Heartbreak, meanwhile, maintains its presence in the Top 20.
Galactic/Republic's Lil Tecca likewise achieves a Top 20 bow, with TEC, the fourth project from the 21-year-old rapper, at #11.
Streeting this week are new projects by Young Money's Lil Wayne, WMG's Ed Sheeran, Universal Music Latino's Feid, Kemosabe/RCA/Sony Latin's Becky G, Monument's Walker Hayes, Capitol's Mae Muller, BBR's Dustin Lynch and Interscope's CMG mixtape.
