As of 3AM ET Friday morning, only two new releases are in the Top 10 of the US iTunes album sales chart.

Those two releases occupy the chart’s top two slots.

Alicia Keys’ “HERE” is currently #1 on the chart, while Bon Jovi’s new “This House Is Not For Sale” follows at #2.

The next five slots belong to country albums. Kenny Chesney’s recently released “Cosmic Hallelujah” is #3, ahead of Maren Morris’ “Hero” (#4) and Keith Urban’s “Ripcord” (#5). Chris Stapleton’s “Traveller” (#6) and Carrie Underwood’s “Storyteller” (#7) are next on the chart.

The country albums are benefiting from exposure during Wednesday’s CMA Awards.

Meek Mill’s “DC4” (#8), Lady Gaga’s “Joanne” (#9) and Avenged Sevenfold’s “The Stage” (#10) complete the Top 10.
