An iTunes discount is making a big impact on the album sales chart.

iTunes has applied a discounted $6.99 price point to a myriad of albums.

The discount has thrust several albums in to the upper reaches of the US store’s all-genre album sales chart.

As of press time at 4PM ET, the store’s Top 5 consists exclusively of discounted albums.

Imagine Dragons’ “Evolve” is currently #1 on the listing, while “21 Totally 80s Hits” is #2. Janet Jackson’s “Number Ones” is #3, ahead of Luke Combs’ “This One’s For You” (#4) and Kesha’s Rainbow” (#5).

“Vol. 2, Guardians of the Galaxy: Awesome Mix, Vol. 2” is #6 and LCD Soundsystem’s “American Dream” (#7) are the only regularly priced albums in the Top 10.

AC/DC’s “Back In Black” (#8), Lana Del Rey’s “Lust For Life” (#9) and Brett Eldredge’s “Brett Eldredge” (#10) are all available for $6.99.
