The latest US albums chart is officially in, and it’s a mix of modern heavyweights and timeless holiday staples.
According to final numbers via HITSDD, Taylor Swift claims the #1 spot this week with 102K units, continuing her dominant run at the top of the charts. Close behind is 21 Savage, whose WHAT HAPPENED TO THE STREETS? debuts at #2 with 90K units, proving once again that his solo work can stand toe-to-toe with any major release.
Morgan Wallen lands at #3 with 74K, while the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack continues its impressive momentum at #4 with 70K units, reflecting its viral success and cultural impact across streaming platforms. Rounding out the top five is Michael Bublé, whose holiday catalog remains a seasonal chart staple.
As expected, Christmas classics dominate the rest of the top 10. Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole, A Charlie Brown Christmas, Phil Spector, and Mariah Carey all see significant boosts as listeners lean into nostalgic holiday soundtracks. With December in full swing, these perennial favorites are once again proving their longevity and chart power.
Between Swift’s continued reign, strong hip-hop debuts, and the annual return of holiday giants, this week’s chart highlights how diverse — and predictable — late-year listening habits can be.
