Lady Gaga’s “Joanne” debuted on US iTunes late Thursday night.
Predictably, it quickly soared to #1 on the store’s all-genre album sales chart.
There it remains as of 1:50AM ET.
New releases actually presently occupy the entirety of the Top 5. KoRn’s “The Serenity Of Suffering” is #2 on the chart, while Micahel Buble’s “Nobody But Me” is #3.
I Prevail’s “Lifelines” (#4) and Jimmy Eat World’s “Integrity Blues” (#5) also hold Top 5 positions.
Kings Of Leon’s “WALLS” (#6), The Pretty Reckless’ new “Who You Selling For” (#7), Chris Tomlin’s new “Never Lose Sight” (#8), Leonard Cohen’s new “You Want It Darker” (#9) and Joe Budden’s new “Rage & The Machine” (#10) form the balance of the Top 10.
Specific projections for the week’s key new releases should emerge this weekend.
