TOP 50: POETS' PROGRESS

It's been a newsy period—at times distressingly so—but there's a reassuring familiarity about the album chart. Republic gold medalist Taylor Swift returns to #1 on the HITS Top 50 this week with 73k units, securing her 13th nonconsecutive week on top. Morgan Wallen, Zach Bryan, Chappell Roan and Billie Eilish round out the Top 5. In related news, a bunch of other records that have been big are still big.

Loma Vista's GHOST, Rancho Humilde/Street Mob's Fuerza Regida and RCA's The Red Clay Strays are among the week's top debuts.

Streeting this week are new titles by SAWGOD/Columbia's Ella Langley, Third Man's Jack White and Columbia's Maren Morris.
