Halsey’s eagerly anticipated album “Manic” launched at midnight late Thursday\/early Friday.<\/p>\n
As of 1AM ET Friday morning, it is the #1 album on the US iTunes album sales chart.<\/p>\n
The Halsey album is one of four new releases in the Top 5. The late Mac Miller’s “Circles” follows at #2, with Little Big Town’s “Nightfall” and Dustin Lynch’s “Tullahoma” respectively clocking in at #4 and #5.<\/p>\n
Selena Gomez’s “Rare,” the lone holdover in the Top 5, sits at #3.<\/p>\n
*A point of focus for the next few hours will be Eminem’s “Music To Be Murdered By.” Due to the surprise nature of the release (no pre-orders, no pre-release anticipation), it is not yet in the Top 10. That will, of course, change soon — and the album will likely challenge for the top spot later today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Four of the top five albums are new releases.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":136645,"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":[183,1047,206],"tags":[1974,58,4585,1150,423,13281,132],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
