JYP/Imperial/Republic’s Stray Kids arrive atop the HITS Top 50 as ODDINARY (via Ingrooves) debuts at #1 with 115k, unseating Alamo/SME’s Lil Durk, whose 7220 slides to #2 with 81k. Disney’s Encanto soundtrack holds the #3 position with 58k, having recently passed the 1m mark YTD.
Rounding out the Top 5, respectively, are heavyweight Morgan Wallen’s Dangerous (Big Loud/Republic) with 46k, which in its second year just crossed 500k YTD, and Juice WRLD’s Fighting Demons (Grade A/Interscope) with 42k, propelled by the deluxe digital edition and the appearance of physical product in stores. The late rapper has three other titles on the chart, while Monte Lipman's Republic has four in the Top 10.
Two additional debuts make the cut: Charli XCX’s CRASH, which she says is her last album for Atlantic, sits just outside the Top 10 with 25k and ROSALÍA’s MOTOMAMI (Columbia) bows at #36 with 16k.
Catalog makes noise as Pearl Jam’s Rearviewmirror (Epic), boosted by a vinyl release, Nirvana’s Nevermind (Geffen) and Eminem’s Curtain Call (Shady/Aftermath/Interscope) all make the Top 20. Bad Bunny’s YHLQMDLG (Rimas), meanwhile, continues its rebound as his lucrative El Último Tour Del Mundo tour makes its way across the country, with a giant summer stadium tour just around the corner.
Streeting this week are projects by Bad Boy/Interscope’s Machine Gun Kelly, Columbia Nashville’s Maren Morris, MCA Nashville’s Reba McEntire, Reprise’s Michael Bublé and Victor Victor/Republic’s Nigo.
