A SWIFT-SIZED TOP 20
Republic's Taylor Swift will spend an eighth week at #1 as THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT is projected to do 128k. Charli XCX will score the week's top debut, and the biggest chart showing of her career, with Brat (Atlantic), and Bon Jovi's Forever (Island) rounds out the Top 5 with much D2C love and a first-week projection of 55k.
Also new this week and just outside the Top 20 will be releases by Meghan Trainor, KAYTRANADA and Ski Mask the Slump God; all three are expected to finish at 19-24k by Friday.
KAYTRANADA, TIMELESS (KAYTRANADA/RCA): 21-24k
Meghan Trainor, Timeless (Epic): 20-23k
Ski Mask the Slump God, 11th Dimension (Victor Victor/Republic): 19-22k
