FLIPOVER FRIDAY: NEW ARRIVALS AT iTUNES AND APPLE MUSIC

With a weeklong Tidal exclusive ending, Jay-Z shoots to #1 at iTunes with his 13th album 4:44 (Roc Nation/UMG). The set is sitting at #8 at Apple Music, but another rookie rap album has him beat this flipover Friday…for now.

Issa Album, the Slaughter Gang/Epic debut from Atlanta rapper 21 Savage, opens at #2 at Apple Music, making it the week’s top debut at the streaming service. Issa Album is #3 at iTunes, right behind HAIM’s Something to Tell You (Columbia). Side note: it still mystifies us as to how they got Ventura Boulevard shut down for their video.

Texas singer/songwriter Parker McCollum has begun rolling out his second album, finding his self-released Probably Wrong: Session One EP at #7. The first album in seven years from the Canadian collective Broken Social Scene, Hug of Thunder (Arts & Crafts), opens at #10.

In just a day of release, Kesha’s new single “Praying” (Kemosabe/RCA) #2 on the iTunes songs chart. Her next album, Rainbow, comes out 8/11.
