Rihanna's ANTI rockets to the top of the iTunes sales chart, while debuts from Sia's seventh studio album and J. Cole's live companion piece for his HBO special cracking the Top 10. Meanwhile the staying power of Adele, Justin Bieber and Chris Stapleton is clear, as they hold their positions despite the crush of hot new music.
On the singles side, its all about ZAYN and his "PILLOWTALK," as the much-anticipated solo single debuts to the world and goes straight to #1, with Rihanna's "Work" falling to #2 and Bieber's "Love Yourself" rounding out the Top 3. The rest of the Top Ten is a packed collection of radio smashes from the usual suspects. ZAYN has seized the #1 spot in 60 countries; not bad for a first foray, right?
