iTUNES CHARTS: Entering the long weekend, six of the Top 10 albums are debuts, led by next week’s chart-topper Daft Punk and including The National, Darius Rucker, French Montana and Thirty Seconds to Mars, while the soundtrack to The Great Gatsby appears to have longer legs than the movie itself. DP, P!nk and Justin Timberlake—all from Sony Music—show up on both charts, as does Zach Sobiech, the 18-year-old YouTube sensation who lost his battle with bone-marrow cancer earlier last weekend. Sobiech’s swan song “Clouds,” first released in December, tops the singles chart, as it has since Wednesday, while his charity EP with longtime friend Sammy Brown under the nameplate A Firm Handshake remains in the Top 5.
