TOP 20: GUTEN MORGAN

Morgan Wallen’s record-breaking double album drops less than 50% in its second week, a result of streams which remain very steady. Republic could hold this week’s Top 3 titles and half of the Top 10.

NEW RELEASES: A DOUBLE DOSE OF DANGER

Morgan Wallen is in no danger as he starts off the year with a record-setting bow. After one day of sales and streams, Dangerous: The Double Album (Big Loud/Republic) is projecting to a first week total of 185-210k.

Combined on-demand audio and video streams are headed toward 165-190m, a new opening week high for a country release. By next Friday, when the HITS Top 50 is finalized, Dangerous will be at 1.2m in total activity to date.

Lead track "Wasted On You" is currently #1 at Apple Music and Spotify U.S.

Good on Taylor, not bad numbers for the time of year.

Hopefully Harry starts to climb in the coming weeks.

2021'S FIRST TOP 20: HERE WE GO

Taylor Swift starts off the new year with a return to #1 as her prior album, folklore, edges back into the Top 10. Republic and Interscope split the Top 6 with three titles each.

CHART STORY: A BIG RED BOW

While we wait for the full HITS Top 50 to return on Friday, here's a look at this week's top 3. Playboi Carti earns his first #1 debut and biggest bow of his career with his Christmas release, Whole Lotta Red (AWGE/Interscope).

After spending two weeks at #1, Taylor Swift's evermore (Republic) moves to #2, while Lil Durk's The Voice (Alamo/Geffen/Interscope) moves up to #3 in its first full week on action.

Playboi Carti (Interscope) 110-115k
Taylor Swift (Republic) 75-80k
Lil Durk (Alamo/Geffen/Interscope) 65-70k

CHART STORY: MERRY SWIFTMAS

While we don't have a full chart today, 12/26 (to allow our chart elves to recover from their holiday hangover), Santa was able to deliver the Top 3 of the HITS Top 50.

Republic's Taylor Swift repeats at #1—earning her 10th week atop the chart—as evermore logs 155-160k in its second week, a 52% drop.

Paul McCartney bows at #2 with McCartney III (Capitol) earning 90-95k.

Eminem's deluxe Music to be Murdered By: Side B (Shady/Aftermath/Interscope) vaults back onto the chart at #3 with 85-90k, an increase of more than 1000%.

NEW RELEASES: MACCA, SHADY AND 'MORE

Taylor Swift gets the edge for a second week at #1, but she's got some competition from Sir Paul McCartney. Swift seems certain to hit 100k+ this week as evermore (Republic) CDs hit stores just in time for Christmas. Can McCartney, who's currently projecting a little under 100k, close the gap? Stay tuned. Eminem’s deluxe Music to Be Murdered By–Side B is headed for #3.

Paul McCartney (Capitol) 85-95k total activity, 80-90k albums
Eminem (Shady/Aftermath/Interscope) 70-80k, 25-30k

Rumor has it UMG has a major release dropping on New Year's Day. With Justin Bieber livestreaming his first show since 2017 on New Year's Eve, wonderers are wondering if this signals a new album to start off 2021.

CHART STORY: REPUBLIC RULES

Christmas came early for Swifties and Republic with the surprise release of superstar Taylor Swift’s second 2020 studio album, evermore. The new arrival—a sister set to the year’s biggest debut, Tay’s folklore—takes the #1 spot on the HITS Top 50 with 331k. Her folklore, which surged to 128k as Swiftmania overtook the land, lands at #3. This marks the ninth week Taylor has topped the album chart this year; she’s claimed that spot more frequently than any other artist in 2020. Since she sealed her 2018 pact with UMG and Republic, Swift has released three #1 albums—within a time frame of 16 months—that have combined for 5m+ in total activity.

Sandwiched between Tay’s albums is labelmate Kid Cudi, who dropped the third chapter of his Man on the Moon series a full decade after its predecessor. The highly anticipated MOTM III: The Chosen, debuts at #2 with 148k. Add perpetually hot projects from Pop Smoke and Ariana Grande to the mix and Republic holds five of the Top 10 albums.

Michael Bublé’s Christmas (Reprise) and Carrie Underwood’s My Gift (Capitol Nashville) lead the pack of holiday titles crowding the chart. They’re positioned on the tree at #4 and #6, respectively. Seasonal favorites Pentatonix (RCA) land two albums inside the Top 30.

On its one-year anniversary, Harry Styles’ Fine Line (Columbia) jumps back into the Top 15 (+29%), lining up at #13.

evermore, Taylor Swift’s second album in five months, will debut at #1, as her midsummer release, folklore, surges to #3. evermore’s first week will be the biggest opening for an album since rule changes eliminated forced bundles. Kid Cudi, meanwhile,scores his best debut since 2010’s Man on the Moon II, which opened with 169k. The upshot: Republic will have the Top 3 albums this week, as well as five of the Top 10.

NEW RELEASES: FULL OF WONDER

Island’s Shawn Mendes is the favorite for #1 on next Friday’s HITS Top 50. Bad Bunny, the current chart champ, is expected to fall to #2. Christmas titles will again dominate the chart but we don’t anticipate any to challenge for the top.

Expect one of Mariah Carey's holiday albums to be in the mix at the front of the pack. Her just-released Magical Christmas Special share a number of tracks with Merry Christmas, including "All I Want For Christmas Is You." The TEA/SEA will be assigned to whichever album sells most for the week.

Shawn Mendes (Island) 85-95k total activity, 45-55k albums
