DOWNLOAD THIS: Updating our earlier snapshot (see below), neither chart has changed much since the West Coast shoppers started shopping. Estrogen rules the top tier of the singles big board, with double-dipper Nicki Minaj contributing much of it, and Sia’s back after briefly slipping out. The upper reaches of the album chart are still rockin’, while each chart is graced by the presence of a Christian indie rapper—Lecrae (whose album just became available for pre-order) and Swoope (who has the Free single of the Week). Otherwise, the latest Now is doing what every Now does, while S-Curve has a horse in this race with Andy Grammer. (8/5p)
