SUMMER SESSION!

Capitol's Pop-Rockers Score Giant 253k Debut; Common Bows in Top 10

Steve Barnett’s Team Capitol is celebrating a massive #1 this week, as 5 Seconds of Summer’s highly anticipated, self-titled album tops the HITS Building Album Sales Chart with 253k. The Aussie pop-rockers’ debut full-length, in both standard and bonus-track versions, held the top two spots at iTunes last week.

Disney’s Frozen
ST continues its frosty onslaught, seizing #2 in its 35th week with 36k (-17%).

Last week’s #1, Weird Al Yankovic’s Mandatory Fun, took #3; RCA’s parody monger moved 33k (-69%), and was heard blasting out of every car driving to Comic-Con.

Capitol has another act in the Top 5, as Sam Smith remains a forced to be reckoned with, grabbing 31k (-12%); Razor & Tie’s Kidz Bop Kids rounds out the Top 5 with 27k (-40%).

Common’s first release on Def Jam debuts at #6 with 23k. Other debuts include Tooth & Nail’s Anberlin, (#16, 14k) and Rise’s metalcore sextet, Crown the Empire (#10, 19k), to both of whom we throw goat and proclaim that the rawk lives on.

Meanwhile, Interscope’s OneRepublic sees a 52% increase and vaults #27-11, powered by a big iTunes feature and serious radio action on single "Love Runs Out."

Streeting at presstime is Hypnotic Eye, the 13th studio album from Reprise’s Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Early reads have it selling 90-100k, putting the rock icon on track for his first-ever #1 album debut. Another new release of note to classic-rock freaks, Eric Clapton’s new tribute to J.J. Cale (Bushbranch/Surfdog) featuring Petty, Willie Nelson and Mark Knopfler, shot to #4 at iTunes.

Also just out is viral breakout Shawn Mendes’ digital-only Island EP, which is #1 at iTunes at presstime.

President Glauber would like you to know that prog-rock heroes YesHeaven & Earth also bowed on this week's chart, and that it will make you want to play air Moog.
