Back at iTunes’ albums chart, Zac Brown Band’s first album for No Reserve/Elektra, Welcome Home, is #2 followed by Paramore’s first album in four years, After Laughter (WMG).

Machine Gun Kelly’s second full-length, bloom (Bad Boy/Interscope) flowers at #4. New Kids on the Block, whose last release was in 2013, return with their Thankful EP (NKOTB) at #6.

The deluxe edition of Seether’s Poison the Parish (Concord) opens at #7, while another EP, New Addictions from the Ross Lynch-led R5 (Hollywood), drops in at #10.
