iTunes U.S.
DOWNLOAD THIS: Ball cap-wearin' Nashville guy Cole Swindell tops the iTunes albums leaderboard at the moment, while guitar-crankin' Nashville outsider Eric Church hunkers down at #3. You'll note the arrival of TDE/Interscope's hip-hop breakout Schoolboy Q (of Kendrick Lamar's Top Dawg camp) and Barsuk/Republic's PoMo duo Phantogram, while the much heralded G I R L from Columbia's Pharrell is at #7 in pre-orders. The superstar's "Happy" continues its exuberant run atop the singles side, meanwhile. His labelmate John Legend, whose "All of Me" is a lovestruck juggernaut, now sees his album, Love in the Future, join the Top 10. Oh, and keep your eye on Artium/Def Jam/IDJ's Jhene Aiko; her Sail Out EP is making waves. (2/21p)
