The highest new entry of the week belongs to Lil Tjay’s True 2 Myself, at No. 2, helped by the second-highest audio on-demand streams total for the week. It is his second release to chart in 2019, following the No. 35 F.N. in August.

Ed Sheeran’s No. 6 Collaborations Project rebounds 7-3, and Taylor Swift’s Lover moves 6-4.
