iTunes charts

iTUNES CHARTS: Just as “Royals” powered to the pinnacle of the sales chart last week, where it remains firmly lodged, Lorde is making her move on the album side, with pre-orders on her Pure Heroine, hitting on Monday (9/30), powering it to #9, one slot below her Love Club EP—for the moment, at least. Katy and Miley are amply represented, singles-wise, as the latter’s featured rap has helped Mike Will Made-It’s “23” climb onto the big board. Juicy J is also double dipping in featured roles. Meanwhile, just below this week’s big two of Drake and Kings of Leon is Justin Timberlake’s 9/30 release, as everybody in the biz speculates about how many units it’ll move in its first week. The same goes with Lorde, obviously. Isn’t guessing fun? (9/27a)
