TOP 20: A SWIFT
THREE-PEAT
Taylor Swift scores a three-peat as THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT (Republic) collects another week at #1. The record-breaking set pushes past the 3.3m mark in total U.S. activity, with more than 2m in pure album sales and 1.5b on-demand audio streams.
Meanwhile, Dua Lipa’s Radical Optimism (Warner) is on track to bow in the Top 3. And following its digital release last week, SEVENTEEN’s SEVENTEEN BEST ALBUM ’17 IS RIGHT HERE’ (Pledis/Geffen) is expected to open in the Top 10.
In Trump trial news, Stormy Daniels has been testifying, which is awesome if she doesn't get too specific.
