iTunes charts

iTUNES CHARTS: While it seems that the entire music business is sleeping off another one down in Austin, the wheels of industry continue to turn, even if virtually unattended. Not surprisingly, Justin Timberlake is now on top of the album chart in advance of Tuesday’s release purely on the basis of preorders, which could top 100k, according to retail mavens. J.T.’s “Suit & Tie” also continues to chug along, forming a superstar triumvirate with Bruno Mars and Rihanna. In the competition for next week’s bragging rights, David Bowie has a slight lead on fellow classic rock staple Bon Jovi, as they sandwich the surging P!nk (writing that line makes us hungry, for some reason). She, too, is on both charts, as are the latest rockers to cross over, Imagine Dragons. That’s it for the broad strokes, knuckleheads. See you on Monday…or Tuesday. (3/15a)
