A BEAMING TOP 20

Ariana Grande’s eternal sunshine (Republic) is headed for a repeat performance at #1, with Interscope/MCA Nashville’s Kacey Musgraves scoring the week’s top debut with Deeper Well. Given a projected first-week total of 88k, Musgraves bests her previous release, Star-Crossed, which opened at 77k in September 2021. RCA’s Justin Timberlake returns with Everything I Thought It Was, trending toward the Top 5 with 65k. Alamo’s Bossman Dlow rounds out the Top 20 with nearly 24k.

Now, if you'll excuse us, it's the start of spring, which calls for a break.
