As of 1:45AM ET Friday morning, new releases claim the Top 5 slots on the US iTunes album sales chart.
The explicit version of “The Hamilton Mixtape” predictably occupies #1 on the listing. Childish Gambino’s “Awaken, My Love!” follows at #2, while Grace VanderWaal’s “Perfectly Imperfect” EP is #3.
Kane Brown’s self-titled debut and The Rolling Stones’ “Blue & Lonesome” are #4 and #5, respectively.
Holdovers from The Weeknd (“Starboy,” #6) and Pentatonix (“A Pentatonix Christmas,” #7) claim the next two slots. John Legend’s new release “Darkness And Light” follows at #8.
The clean version of “The Hamilton Mixtape” (#9) and Jordan Smith’s recently released holiday album “‘Tis The Season” (#10) complete the Top 10.
Sales projections for the week’s key new releases should arrive in the next few days.
