“Short n’ Sweet” has been out for six weeks and achieved six-figure album units for all of those weeks, showing impressively stable popularity, especially on streaming platforms where the album racked up the lion’s share of its units. Repeating at number-two was Chappell Roan‘s “The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess” with 63,000 units. Last week’s chart topper, Future‘s “Mixtape Pluto,” dropped to number-three with 55,000 units. Morgan Wallen‘s indefatigable “One Thing at a Time” moved up a spot to number-four with 50,000 units. And Billie Eilish‘s  “Hit Me Hard and Soft” jumped three spots to number-five with just under 50,000 units.

In our weekly Billboard 200 predictions contest, most game players correctly predicted that “Short n’ Sweet” would make a return trip to the summit. And yet we underestimated it, predicting the number-one album would achieve fewer than 100,000 album units. Our consensus was also right that “Midwest Princess” would hold on to number-two. But only eight people anticipated “Mixtape Pluto” at number-three. Eight people also foresaw “One Thing at a Time” in the number-four spot. But nobody saw “Hit Me Hard and Soft” coming at number-five. Despite some tough calls, one of our game players managed to correctly answer five out of six prediction questions correctly this week.
