Turtle Speeds Into Second Place on 'The Masked Singer': 'I'd Be Lying if I Said I Wasn't a Little Disappointed'

Chris Willman Music WriterAfter weeks and months in which new hip-hop releases have almost constantly dominated the top spots on the album chart, pop finally got a word back in edge-wise, as Lady Gaga’s “Chromatica” came in at No. 1.Although it was far from a photo finish, Jimmy Buffett also landed a surprising second place finish on the Rolling Stone album chart with a strong bow for his new album, “Life on the Flip Side.”“Chromatica” came out of the box with 280,800 album units.

“America’s Got Talent” and “World of Dance” came within one-tenth of a ratings point of their respective season starts last week, holding NBC well above the fray on Tuesday.

Nearly 9 million people tuned in to watch Frog, Turtle, and Night Angel duke it out for the Golden Mask on The Masked Singer Season 3 finale.
