Since its release earlier this week, The Weeknd’s “Heartless” has occupied the #1 position on the US iTunes sales chart.<\/p>\n

As of Friday, its closest competition is coming from another The Weeknd song.<\/p>\n

The artist’s new “Blinding Lights” soared to #2 following its release Friday, and it remains in that position as of 10AM ET Friday morning. It will be interesting to see if it can challenge for #1 as Friday progresses.<\/p>\n

Post Malone’s “Circles” (#3), Maroon 5’s “Memories” (#4), and Lizzo’s “Good As Hell” (#5) complete the Top 5.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Weeknd is dominating on iTunes.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":135117,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1047],"tags":[13160,2954,791],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\nThe Weeknd's "Blinding Lights" Joins "Heartless" In Top 2 On US iTunes Sales Chart<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Since its release earlier this week, The Weeknd's "Heartless" has occupied the #1 position on the US iTunes sales chart.
