Next week’s Billboard 200 is shaping up to be one of the most competitive chart weeks of 2025, with several major new releases projected to land inside the top 10. According to Hits Daily Double, five fresh albums are expected to shake up the rankings, led by pop legend Mariah Carey.
Carey’s long-awaited comeback record, Here for It All, is projected to debut at No. 4 with over 65,000 units, marking her strongest chart performance in years. The album, her first in seven years, has already received praise from fans and debuted with more than 2 million streams on Spotify.

Further down the top 10, Young Thug makes his presence felt with UY Scuti. The Atlanta rapper’s highly anticipated release is projected to enter at No. 7 with 48,000 units, continuing his streak of top-10 entries and marking his first major release since leaving prison in late 2024.
At No. 9, British breakout star Olivia Dean is set for a career milestone with her sophomore record The Art of Loving. The project is expected to debut with 38,000 units, giving Dean her first U.S. top-10 album. Meanwhile, K-pop group P1Harmony joins the mix with their new album Ex, which is projected for a No. 8 debut.
Elsewhere, Cardi B’s Am I the Drama? is holding strong in its second week. The former chart-topper is projected to move 80,000 units, enough for a No. 3 placement. The KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack is expected to reclaim No. 1 after a surge in sales and streams, pushing last week’s leader down the rankings.
