FLIPOVER FRIDAY: NOT SO NEW ARRIVALS AT iTUNES AND APPLE MUSIC

Suppose they had a Friday and there was nothing to flip over?

The new release bins are barren at iTunes and Apple Music as soundtracks for The Greatest Showman and A Star is Born hold down the top two slots at iTunes albums and Post Malone & Swae Lee’s “Sunflower” blossoms at #1 at songs.

Malone’s “Wow.” (Republic) is the top track at Apple Music and A Boogie wit da Hoodie’s Hoodie SZN (Atlantic) remains the chart-topper on the album side.

Sale prices are goosing The Very Best of Daryl Hall & John Oates, Fleetwood Mac’s Greatest Hits and Rumours and greatest hits packages from Journey and Prince. The arrival on Netflix of Taylor Swift’s concert film appears to be helping her reputation (BMLG) stay in the Top 10 while one new arrival, Follow You Anywhere (Live) from sixstep/Sparrow/Capitol Christian Music Group’s Passion is #11.
