It may not have gotten there immediately, but it ultimately did get there.
As of press time at 2:45AM ET, Post Malone’s eagerly anticipated new album “beerbongs & bentleys” occupies the #1 spot on the US iTunes sales chart.
Janelle Monae’s new “Dirty Computer,” which enjoyed a brief stint atop the chart, now ranks as the store’s #2 album.
Godsmack’s new “When Legends Rise” follows at #3, ahead of Keith Urban’s new “Graffiti U” (#4) and J. Cole’s “KOD” (#5).
“The Greatest Showman” soundtrack (#6), YoungBoy Never Broke Again’s new “Until Death Call My Name” (#7), Willie Nelson’s new “Last Man Standing” (#8), Cardi B’s “Invasion Of Privacy” (#9) and Anne-Marie’s “Speak Your Mind” (#10).
— In addition to faring well on the sales front, Post Malone’s album should post mammoth opening week streaming numbers. More details on the album’s performance — and specific sales projections — will be published in the coming days.
