Bad Bunny, ENHYPEN, and A$AP Rocky are having a close race for the number one spot on the Billboard 200 chart. According to midweek data for the week ending January 22, 2026, all three artists are separated by a very small margin, making the outcome uncertain as the tracking week reaches its end.
Hits Daily Double reports that Bad Bunny currently holds a slight lead with his album “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS.” The project has received a boost from strong retail distribution and the shipment of vinyl and CD formats. These physical sales have helped increase his overall numbers, keeping him narrowly ahead of the competition.
A$AP Rocky is close behind with “Don’t Be Dumb,” his first album in nearly eight years, released through A$AP Worldwide and RCA. The long gap between releases has driven strong streaming interest and physical sales. To support the album, Rocky added two new tracks to the streaming version, helping listener engagement.
The race for #1 on this week’s Billboard 200 is “too close to call,” HITSDD reports.

ENHYPEN’s “THE SIN : VANISH,” released by BELIFT Lab and Geffen, also remains a major contender. Multiple physical versions and individual member versions on streaming platforms have kept fans’ interest high.
Despite these strategies, Hits Daily Double stated on January 25, 2026, that the race for the number one album was still too close to call, with fewer than 500 units separating the first and second spot and the third spot by just a couple of thousand units. In total, the three acts have sold nearly 250k in vinyl units.
