According to a Hits Daily Double prediction, Taylor Swift's "Midnights" is projected to eclipse Morgan Wallen's "One Thing At A Time" on the outlet's HITS 50 chart, which also a predicative chart using the same metrics as the Billboard 200 albums chart.
Per early estimation, "Midnights" will bounce back to the top with 225,000 - 275,000 album equivalent units. To compare, Wallen's "One Thing" retained its top spot this week at 125,000 album-equivalent units, which Luminate reports to be a 4% decline compared to last week.
Lil Durk's recent release, "Almost Healed" is also predicted to debut with 125,000 to 150,000 album-equivalent units, which could ultimately bump Wallen to No. 3 next week, ending its 12 consecutive rule atop the charts.
"Midnights'" racing back to the top was primarily attributed to the release of four new songs. First was the now-iconic collaboration of Ice Spice and Taylor Swift on "Karma (Remix)." Swift pulled out Ice Spice on Day 1 and Day 2 of her New Jersey stop for "The Eras" tour.
Aside from this, Swift also released a version of "Snow on The Beach" with more Lana Del Rey vocals featured compared to the original one. The "Til Dawn" version also included the Target-exclusive track "Hits Different" on the official release.
Lastly, Swift also released her first "From The Vault" track for "Midnights" - "You're Losing Me," a song Swifties think was an ode to her breakup with Joe Alwyn.
