At the top of the chart is Taylor Swift, who was previously projected to move down to #2 with her chart-topping surprise album folklore. Pop Smoke stays strong at #2 with his posthumous album Shoot For The Stars, Aim For The Moon. Juice WRLD's posthumous body of work Legends Never Die remains at #3 for right now.
