Doja Cat’s Album Debuts At No. 4, Rod Wave Retains Top Spot

Doja Cat's single "Paint The Town Red" returned to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for a second week, but the new album it comes from, Scarlet, had to settle for a No. 4 debut on the Billboard 200. The top spot again went to Rod Wave for his new album, Nostalgia. (Doja Cat still doesn't have a No. 1 album on the Billboard 200, though her previous record Planet Her, debuted at No. 2 in 2021.) Olivia Rodrigo’s sophmore release, Guts, was close behind Rod Wave on the chart this week at No. 2 and Morgan Wallen’s One Thing At A Time landed at No. 3. Zach Bryan's self-titled album occupies No. 5, while SZA’s SOS is at No. 6 and Travis Scott’s Utopia is at No. 7. Peso Pluma’s Génesis landed at No. 9, just ahead of Taylor Swift’s Midnights at No. 10.
