iTunes U.S.

DOWNLOAD THIS: Epic's Meghan Trainor retains the #1 spot with her big-and-proud anthem "All About That Bass," Lava/Republic's "Bang Bang" trio is hot on her heels, and indie YouTube jesters Jack & Jack make a major splash with "Wild Life." YMCMB/Republic's Nicki Minaj continues to exert a mighty grip with her latest, "Anaconda" (if you haven't heard it yet, it's an answer/sequel to Sir Mix-a-Lot's classic "Baby Got Back"). On the album side, Disney's Guardians rule on, Republic's Godsmack turns up the volume, Capitol Nashville's Luke Bryan surges post-CMAs and Island's Shawn Mendes demonstrates his retail stamina. Outside the albums Top 10, keep your eye on S-Curve's Andy Grammer, while Iggy Azalea f/Rita Ora's "Black Widow (Def Jam) threatens the singles leaderboard. (8/8p)
