Her second studio album, Change (Sacred Bones), leaps onto the NACC 200 this week at #21 leading a crop of big-name Top 40 debuts from Molly Burch, Brittany Howard, Descendents, and Durand Jones And The Indications.
Scoring more Top 10 Adds than any of the artists going for adds this week is Florida-born, Georgia-raised musician MacKenzie Scott, who records as Torres. Her fifth LP, Thirstier (Merge), collects 59 Top 10 Adds this week and debuts on the NACC 200 at #113.
