iTunes charts

iTUNES CHARTS: As we told you yesterday, Republic’s Les Misérables soundtrack has rocketed to the top of the albums chart, where it remains this morning, continuing to ride the film's considerable momentum. But Les Mis isn’t the only release to catch fire during this extremely busy week. How ’bout them Imagine Dragons (see next item), whose Interscope LP is looking increasingly like a major breakthrough? Meanwhile, on the singles side, the rich keep getting richer, following the annual pattern. So what are you waiting for? Time to put those gift cards to use. (12/28a)
