Update:<\/b> Since the start of “New Music Friday” at midnight ET, GOJIRA’s “Fortitude” and Elevation Worship & Maverick City Music’s “Old Church Basement” have each spent time at #1 on the all-genre US iTunes sales chart.<\/p>\n

“Fortitude” leads the way as of press time at 1:20AM ET, with “Old Church Basement” now at #2.<\/p>\n

Thomas Rhett’s new “Country Again (Side A)” (#3), Adam Calhoun & Struggle Jennings’ new “Outlaw Shxt” (#4), and MercyMe’s “inhale (exhale)” (#5) are also charting prominently.<\/p>\n

The iTunes chart tends to be very volatile on “New Music Friday,” so any of the aforementioned positions could change in the coming minutes and hours.
\n===<\/p>\n

Shortly after the midnight start of the April 30-May 6 music sales tracking period, GOJIRA’s new “Fortitude” reached #1 on the all-genre US iTunes sales chart.<\/p>\n

As of 1:10AM ET, another album rules the listing.<\/p>\n

The chart’s #1 position now belongs to Elevation Worship & Maverick City Music’s “Old Church Basement.” The GOJIRA album is still impressively positioned at #2.<\/p>\n

Eric Church’s holdover hit “Soul” follows at #3, while Adam Calhoun & Struggle Jennings’ new “Outlaw Shxt” occupies the #4 position. MercyMe’s new “inhale (exhale)” sits at #5 on the listing.<\/p>\n

New releases just below the Top 5 include Royal Blood’s “Typhoons” (#6), Dropkick Murphys’ “Turn Up That Dial” (#7), DJ Khaled’s “Khaled Khaled” (#9), and Manchester Orchestra’s “The Million Masks Of God” (#10).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Other new releases are also doing well as Friday gets underway.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":149208,"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":[11765,1027,8086,11526,1022,6628,1970,14774,2116,14775,2748,14773],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\nGOJIRA's "Fortitude" Claims #1 On US iTunes Sales Chart;
