It took the iTunes charts a minute to update this morning, but to nobody's surprise we see last night's two big sneak attacks—from TDE/Interscope's Kendrick Lamar and Def Jam's 2 Chainz (with Lil Wayne) in the top two spots on the album chart. Other new releases crowd the leaderboard, including Wheelhouse/BBR Music Group's Nashville patriot Granger Smith, who arrives at #3, RCA's Ray LaMontagne at #4 and Jackalope's Miike Snow at #6.
RCA siren and American Idol poster child Kelly Clarkson's galvanizing live version of "Piece by Piece" from the show, meanwhile, currently owns the #1 spot on the singles side (the studio version is at #7), while Warner Bros.' Danish troupe Lukas Graham holds at #2 with the steadfast "7 Years." Rihanna's "Work" moves to #3. SYCO/Epic's Fifth Harmony, Island's Mike Posner and RCA's ZAYN hold their ground in the Top 10. Zara Larsson & MNEK's "Never Forget You" (Epic) has shimmied into the Top 15.
But fasten your seat belts, because Meghan Trainor's new single, "No" (Epic), is going to shake shit up imminently.
