Kenny Chesney’s “Songs For The Saints” Claims #1 On US iTunes Sales Chart; Cody Jinks #2

Country artists are leading the way on the US iTunes sales chart.

Kenny Chesney’s new album “Songs For The Saints” debuted on US iTunes late Thursday night. It unsurprisingly shot to the top of the store’s all-genre sales chart.

It remains in the #1 position as of press time 3:10AM ET Friday.

Another country artist – albeit one of the less mainstream variety – occupies the #2 position. That artist is Cody Jinks, whose “Lifers” currently ranks as the store’s runner-up.

Halestorm’s new “Vicious” follows at #3, ahead of Daughtry’s new “Cage To Rattle” (#4) and the “Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again” soundtrack (#5).

Queen Naija’s self-titled EP (#6), the original “Mamma Mia!” film soundtrack (#7), the “The Greatest Showman” soundtrack (#8), Drake’s “Scorpion” (#9) and ABBA’s “Gold: Greatest Hits” (#10) form the balance of the Top 10.
