YE JOLLY OLDE iTUNES U.K. CHARTS: As the Brits come off a bank holiday and head into the weekend, we find two stars from different generations—cult heroine Kate Bush (who just performed for the first time in 35 years) and newly minted icon Sam Smith—hogging four of the 10 slots on the album leaderboard. And Various Artists take up three more. But on top, refreshingly enough, is the terrific hard-rock duo Royal Blood, on WMG. Meanwhile, another EDM record has zoomed to the top of the singles chart, this one from German producer/DJ Robin Schulz, who’s also signed to WMG in the U.K. Feels like a particular moment in time, don’t it?
