As of press time at 2:10AM ET, three new country albums are in the Top 5 on the US iTunes sales chart.
Thomas Rhett’s “Life Changes,” one of those albums, currently occupies the #1 slot.
“Life Changes” predictably soared to #1 following its release late Thursday night.
New country releases also occupy the #3 (Dustin Lynch – Current Mood) and #4 (Kip Moore – Slowheart) positions.
The other two Top 5 slots also belong to new albums, albeit not ones of the country variety. The National’s new “Sleep Well Beast” is #2 at press time, while Jack Johnson’s new “All The Light Above It Too” is #5.
ODESZA’s new “A Moment Apart” occupies the #6 position; Imagine Dragons’ “Evolve” (#7), Tori Amos’ new “Native Invader” (#8), the late Gregg Allman’s new “Southern Blood” (#9) and the “Twin Peaks” soundtrack (#10) complete the Top 10.
