CHART FINAL: REPUBLIC RULE
Two of the year's blockbusters lead the HITS Top 50; Drake scores a fifth week at #1 with Certified Lover Boy (OVO/Republic), while Morgan Wallen's Dangerous (Big Loud/Republic) returns to #2, its highest position since July. The Republic sets combine for 15 weeks atop the album chart in 2021 thus far.
Lana Del Rey's Blue Banisters, Elton John's The Lockdown Sessions and the deluxe edition of Moneybagg Yo's A Gangsta's Pain (CMG/N-Less) give Interscope four titles in the Top 10, as Olivia Rodrigo's SOUR (Geffen) holds steady at #4.
