TOP 20: TAYLOR, TARGET HIT THE BULL'S-EYE

With a little help from Target and Black Friday, Taylor Swift’s THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT (Republic) will return to #1 this week—with a vengeance.

The latest edition of TTPD is the hotly anticipated physical iteration of the 31-track digital-only Anthology version that dropped online mere hours after the initial set arrived in April. It re-emerges in vinyl and CD form just in time to stuff Swifty stockings. Which is why the retailer will contribute the bulk of the staggering 360k copies sold this week.

Not for nothin', Target also secured an exclusive deal to sell Tay's self-published official Eras Tour book, stocking 2m copies at $39.99 each for the holidays.

Second-week projections for Kendrick Lamar’s GNX (pgLang/Interscope) and Wicked: The Soundtrack (Verve/Republic), meanwhile, remain strong, with each at over 100k.

The week’s top debut will belong to Juice WRLD’s The Party Never Ends 2.0 (Grade A/Interscope).

Eight Christmas albums are poised to populate the Top 20. Speaking of holiday spirit, has anyone seen our weed-infused vodka?
