This week’s chart gives House
Lipman its fourth consecutive week at #1 and eighth chart-topping week for the year.

MCA Nashville’s
Kacey Musgraves earns the week’s top debut, as well as the best-selling bow of her career, with
Deeper Well at #2. The
Grammy-winning singer-songwriter’s sixth studio album moves 95k.
If more indie stores were reporting, Grande’s total would increase and, based on the sector’s contribution to Musgraves’ previous album, she would benefit from a substantial uptick in sales.
RCA’s
Justin Timberlake, meanwhile, lands a Top 5 debut;
Everything I Thought I Was is at #4. The album moves 65k as JT’s
Live Nation tour sells out arenas across the globe. For his part, hot
Alamo rapper
Bossman Dlow makes his Top 50 debut with
Mr. Beat the Road, which enters at #20.
