On May 26, Swift released a new deluxe edition of&nbsp;<em>Midnights<\/em>, dubbed The Til Dawn Edition, through digital retailers, Swift\u2019s webstore and streaming services. The 23-track set includes the original standard album\u2019s 13 tracks, plus the seven bonus tracks from the earlier-released&nbsp;<em>Midnights<\/em>&nbsp;(The 3am Edition, originally released on Oct. 21, 2022, shortly after the standard album), and three bonus tracks: \u201cHits Different,\u201d which was previously only on the Target-exclusive CD edition of the standard edition of&nbsp;<em>Midnights<\/em>; a new version of the standard album\u2019s \u201cSnow on the Beach,\u201d featuring more Lana Del Rey, and a remix of the standard set\u2019s \u201cKarma,\u201d adding Ice Spice as a featured artist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u201cKarma\u201d remix, alongside its official music video, also premiered across streamers and digital retailers as a single on May 26. Swift and Ice Spice gave the first live performance of the track at Swift\u2019s May 26 The Eras Tour concert at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the&nbsp;<em>Midnights<\/em>&nbsp;(The Til Dawn Edition), on May 26 Swift introduced a further iteration of the album, named&nbsp;<em>Midnights<\/em>&nbsp;(The Late Night Edition). The 21-track set contains the original standard album\u2019s 13 tracks, plus five of the seven bonus tracks from The 3am Edition and three bonus tracks: the previously noted new versions of \u201cSnow on the Beach\u201d and \u201cKarma,\u201d along with a previously unreleased track titled \u201cYou\u2019re Losing Me (From the Vault).\u201d The Late Night Edition version of the album is available only as a CD sold at merch stands at Swift\u2019s The Eras Tour stops (having started on May 26) for $10 and was briefly sold through Swift\u2019s webstore (for 24 hours only) as a digital download album for $5.99 (from 8 p.m. ET on May 26 to 8 p.m. ET on May 27). \u201cYou\u2019re Losing Me\u201d is exclusive to The Late Night edition of the album and is not available to stream anywhere officially, nor sold as a stand-alone track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no word on when, or if, The Late Night Edition will be widely released, nor if \u201cYou\u2019re Losing Me\u201d will be released a la carte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond the above drivers, the standard&nbsp;<em>Midnights<\/em>&nbsp;vinyl album was reissued in a color variant on May 26. The day, the Love Potion purple marble color variant of&nbsp;<em>Midnights<\/em>&nbsp;was available in select independent record stores, after being previously sold in a short pre-order window through Swift\u2019s webstore (with orders shipping out starting May 26).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wallen\u2019s&nbsp;<em>One Thing at a Time<\/em>&nbsp;surrenders the No. 1 slot after spending its first 12 weeks at No. 1, as the album dips to No. 2 with 126,000 equivalent album units earned (down 2%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lil Durk notches his sixth top 10-charting effort on the Billboard 200 as&nbsp;<em>Almost Healed<\/em>&nbsp;debuts at No. 3 with 125,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, SEA units comprise 122,000 (equaling 167.82 million on-demand official streams of the set\u2019s tracks), album sales comprise 2,000 and TEA units comprise 1,000. Notably, the 125,000-unit start marks Durk\u2019s best week, outside of his collaborative set with Lil Baby, which bowed at No. 1 with 150,000 (June 19, 2021, chart).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A trio of former No. 1s is next on the Billboard 200, as SZA\u2019s&nbsp;<em>SOS<\/em>&nbsp;dips 2-4 (55,000 equivalent album units earned; down 29%), Wallen\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Dangerous: The Double Album<\/em>&nbsp;falls 4-5 (48,000; up 2%) and Swift\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Lover<\/em>&nbsp;is a non-mover at No. 6 (38,000; down 1%). Luke Combs\u2019&nbsp;<em>Gettin\u2019 Old<\/em>&nbsp;rises one rung to No. 7 with 33,000 (down 4%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bad Bunny\u2019s chart-topping&nbsp;<em>Un Verano Sin Ti<\/em>&nbsp;climbs one spot to No. 8 (nearly 33,000 equivalent album units; down 3%), Zach Bryan\u2019s&nbsp;<em>American Heartbreak<\/em>&nbsp;bumps 10-9 (31,000; down 1%) and Bailey Zimmerman\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Religiously. The Album.&nbsp;<\/em>climbs back to the top 10, up 11-10 (30,000; down 4%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the top 10 contains Wallen\u2019s two albums (<em>One Thing at a Time<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Dangerous<\/em>&nbsp;at Nos. 2 and 5), Combs\u2019&nbsp;<em>Gettin\u2019 Old<\/em>&nbsp;(No. 7), Bryan\u2019s&nbsp;<em>American Heartbreak<\/em>&nbsp;(No. 9) and Zimmerman\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Religiously. The Album.<\/em>&nbsp;(No. 10), there are five country albums in the top 10 for the first time in nearly a decade. The chart last had at least five country sets in the top 10 on the Oct. 5, 2013-dated list.
