DOWNLOAD THIS: THE NAME IS SMITH. SAM SMITH.

Album/SPS chart champs Drake & Future retain the #1 spot on the iTunes albums leaderboard with What a Time To Be Alive, with new albums from George Strait, Thomas Rhett, Disclosure, and the original cast recording of the hit musical Hamilton (in which Warner/Chappell pubco is a key investor) also making Top Ten debuts. The pre-order for One Direction sits Top Five, while an impressive showing from brand new artist (and Drake co-signing) Bryson Tiller, T R A P S O U L, debuts at #7.

On the singles side, Sam Smith's Bond theme, "Writing's on the Wall" zooms to #1 while Drake and The Weeknd maintain their positions and the brand new One Direction and Sia singles sit at #6 and #7, respectively.
