The album is a reference to his final EP, No. 5 Collaborations Project, which was released in 2011 in a bid to gain a record deal, before his career led to stardom.

Also expected in the top five are Senorita by Camilla Cabello and Shawn Mendes, and Hold Me While You Wait, by Lewis Capaldi.

The chart is based on preliminary sales and early streaming reports.
