TOP 20: TWICE IS NICE; MONTANA MOVES

TWICE will score its first #1 with the six-track EP With YOU-th (JYP/Virgin/Imperial/Republic). The K-pop debut leads what could be seven Republic titles in the Top 10.

Meanwhile, gamma.’s French Montana vaults to #3 in our updated projections this morning (2/28) thanks to a D2C number bigger than initially anticipated. We’re now expecting Mac & Cheese 5 (Coke Boys/gamma.) to finish the week with total activity in the neighborhood of 56.5k. This is just ahead of Noah Kahan’s Stick Season (Mercury/Republic) at 56k, so either could finish at #3.

In what's looking like a big week for K-pop debuts, Source Music/Geffen's girl group LE SSERAFIM could well touch down in the Top 10.

Will French grow his number? Is #2 up for grabs? Watch this space. Now, if you’ll excuse us, we've got a sudden urge to make French toast.
