DOWNLOAD THIS: FIFTY SHADES OF AW YEAH

Republic Rocks at iTunes

We don't mean to beat you up about it, but you're prepared to acknowledge that the Fifty Shades ST is a huge deal, right? Following the movie's Valentine's Day bow, the album is #2 (behind Drake's surprise drop "mixtape"), and owns the #1 and #5 spots on the singles side. Team Republic is busting out the fur handcuffs in celebration.

The House of Lipman also has Drake (with a Top 10 single as well) and Taylor (1989 still selling strong and two singles on the leaderboard). Meanwhile,

Interscope is jazzed as Imagine Dragons blows up ahead of their Album Sales Chart debut.

Def Jam's Big Sean is going strong as his pre-order nears its conclusion.

The Grammy effect continues for Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith, while Hozier hovers just outside the Top 10.

We also note the persistence of Country indie Aaron Watson (The BIG Label), who looks to have a very decent chart bow with The Underdog.

In other news, we suspect that you keep asking us to wear the ball gag not because it's kinky but because you want us to stop talking.
