CHART FINAL: THE SALES DEPARTMENT

Taylor Swift easily scores a #1 on this week's HITS Top 50 chart thanks to the Target-exclusive physical edition of THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT: THE ANTHOLOGY.

The vinyl and CD iterations of her sprawling set contributed the vast majority of the Republic superstar's 403k total. Fans also bought a dizzying number of Eras Tour books from the retail giant, but you can read about that elsewhere. TTPD, incidentally, has now exceeded 6.5m in U.S. ATD.

In the second week of his GNX, pgLang/Interscope's Kendrick Lamar racks up another 163k+, good for #2. Verve/Republic's Wicked ST conjures up 108k+, landing like Dorothy's house at #3.

A posthumous set from Grade A/Interscope's Juice WRLD, The Party Never Ends, bows at #4 with just north of 88k. Island success story Sabrina Carpenter rounds out the Top 5 with 66k+.

The other notable aspect of this week's chart: A flash of red and green as holiday offerings creep up on ya. Michael Bublé's Reprise perennial, Christmas, leads the yuletide pack at #6, but look out for UMe's Bing Crosby (now a favorite of K-pop fans), Columbia's Mariah Carey, Capitol's Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra, Concord's Vince Guaraldi and other mistletoe merchants, who'll be overwhelming the soundtrack of your life in the coming weeks, whether you like it or not.

This may explain our recurring dream of filling a wading pool with rye-spiked eggnog. Or maybe it was just our childhoods. Deck the halls with chart data here.

Streeting at press time are, among others, Atlantic's ROSÉ, JYP/Imperial/Republic's TWICE and Motown's YoungBoy Never Broke Again. Now it's time to fall-a-la-la-la into a coma.
