While none of this week’s new album releases has yet dethroned Drake’s “More Life,” two have ventured into the Top 5 on the US iTunes sales chart.<\/p>\n

As of press time at 2:20AM ET Friday morning, Mastodon’s “Emperor Of Sand” is up to #2 on the listing. MercyMe’s new “Lifer” is #4.<\/p>\n

The new releases are joined in the Top 5 by three holdover releases: Drake’s “More Life” at #1, Ed Sheeran’s “Divide” at #3, and “Beauty And The Beast” at #5.<\/p>\n

Trey Songz’ “Tremaine The Album” (#6), Kodak Black’s new “Painting Pictures” (#7), Bruno Mars’ “24K Magic” (#8), Jamiroquai’s new “Automaton” (#9), and Trade Adkins’ new “Something’s Going On” (#10) form the balance of the Top 10.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":84074,"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":[1047,206],"tags":[1685,40,54,314,8689,8692,6762,8690,2510,2116,8691,2331],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\nMastodon's "Emperor Of Sand," MercyMe's "Lifer" Enter Top 5 On US iTunes Sales Chart<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"While none of this week's new album releases has yet dethroned Drake's "More Life," two have ventured into the Top 5 on the US iTunes sales chart.
