TOP 50: SCOTT'S GRAND RETURN, POSTY POPS
Cactus Jack/Epic's Travis Scott returns in a major way, with UTOPIA earning the biggest hip-hop bow of the year on the HITS Top 50. At #1, Scott's fourth studio album opens with 486k, powered by 340m+ streams, including video.
Mercury/Republic's Post Malone debuts at #2 with Austin, which totals 110k its first week. Malone's is one of House Lipman's six titles in the Top 10—Big Loud's Morgan Wallen holds #3 and #9, while Taylor Swift scores #5, #8 and #10.
Streeting this week are new titles by TOMORROW X TOGETHER, ITZY, Brett Young, Yo Gotti & DJ Drama, Mammoth WVH and Grupo Frontera.
Please excuse us—it's not easy working out of the SoFi Stadium parking lot. See the full chart here.
