NEW RELEASES: TXT FILES A BIGGIE

TOMORROW X TOGETHER's The Name Chapter: TEMPTATION–EP (Bighit/Imperial/Republic) will debut at #1 on the next HITS Top 50 with total activity in the 130-160k range. This more than doubles the K-pop act's previous biggest week of 69k, set by minisode 2: Thursday's Child in May of 2022. TXT's new set will end SZA's seven-week run atop the album chart.

Sam Smith's Gloria (Capitol) could land in the Top 10 with a projected range of 27-32k. Quality Control/Motown's Lil Yachty is tracking toward an opening of 19-24k with his alternative album, Let's Start Here.
