iTunes chart battle check-in

THREE-WAY CHART BATTLE, UPDATE: They're been out for less than 12 hours, but the three leading contenders for the top of next week's album chart are already kicking ass at iTunes—in win, place and show configuration mirroring their likely sales debuts. Interscope's Lana Del Rey, expected to hold the #1 retail spot next Tuesday, is at the top of the album downloads chart, followed by Capitol's Sam Smith at #2 and Warner Bros.' Linkin Park at #3. It's worth noting that both Lana and Sam lead with the Deluxe versions of their Ultraviolence and In the Lonely Hour, respectively, but that alternate versions are also selling. Interestingly, Sam's full-price set leads while the $7.99 standard version sits at #10. Lana's $11.99 standard set is #27. Stand by for an updated forecast. (6/17a)
