Monte Lipman’s
Republic continues to dominate the top of the
HITS Top 50; the label claims seven titles in the Top 10 this week—the most for a single label in as long as we can remember (though we can barely remember today’s breakfast). Previous #1s from
Taylor Swift,
TOMORROW X TOGETHER,
Metro Boomin,
Drake &
21 Savage,
Morgan Wallen and
The Weeknd hold spots between #2 and #8, while
Shania Twain’s
Queen of Me debuts at #10.
TDE/
RCA’s
SZA returns to #1 on the chart with
SOS. In its ninth week (and eighth on top), the album posts 99k. SZA’s chart-topping run is on pace to compete with blockbuster reigns by
Disney’s
Encanto soundtrack and
Morgan Wallen’s
Dangerous: The Double Album, which spent nine and 10 weeks at #1, respectively.
Columbia’s
Beyoncé and
Harry Styles receive significant boosts from their big nights at the
Grammys, with
RENAISSANCE (
Parkwood) +131% at #11 and
Harry’s House +54% at #9.
Streeting this week are new titles from
WMG’s
Paramore, Columbia’s
Jessie Murph,
Big Loud's
ERNEST and
This Is Hit/
BBR’s
Chase Rice. Now, if you’ll excuse us, we have to get in line for
Cocaine Bear—it’s based on the true story of a promo guy we used to know.
