iTunes Top 10 albums

iTUNES TOP 10 ALBUMS: In our intermittent efforts to save you the trouble of opening iTunes, here’s a snapshot of the initial hard-core fan surge on new releases, and a rough draft of next Tuesday’s chart. It’s topped by the deluxe version of Rick Ross’ God Forgives, I Don’t (the standard edition is #5), followed by Joss Stone’s The Soul Sessions, Vol. 2 deluxe, with Joshua Radin’s Underwater getting off to a surprisingly strong start at #3, followed by Frank Ocean’s Channel Orange, an album with legs. The second five are the deluxe version of Nas’ Life Is Good, the Zac Brown Band’s steady Uncaged, Passion Pit’s Gossamer, The Bright Side from acoustic reggae duo Aer (who knew?) and black-metal band Testament’s Dark Roots of Earth. You’re welcome. (8/1a)
