FLIPOVER FRIDAY: NEW ARRIVALS AT iTUNES AND APPLE MUSIC

As dawn breaks this flipover Friday, Harry Styles’ “Lights Up” (Columbia) is beaming from the #1 slot at iTunes songs while the Top 10 at albums is all new entries and Apple Music even has three new titles.

The first of Cody Jinks’ back-to-back releases, After the Fire (Late August), is smoldering at #1 at iTunes. Can you repeat the feat next week when he releases The Wanting?

Babymetal, the female metal act from Japan, sits at #2 with their first international release, Metal Galaxy (Cooking Vinyl). Hillsong Worship’s Awake (Hillsong/Capitol CMG) has risen to #3.

Lil’ Kim’s first album in 14 years, 9 (Queen Bee/eOne), slides in at #4 ahead of Lacuna Coil’s Black Anima (Century Media) #5.

Wale and YoungBoy Never Broke Again land on both the iTunes and Apple Music albums lists. Wale’s sixth studio album Wow…That’s Crazy (Warner) is #6 in sales and #9 in streaming; AI Youngboy 2 (Never Broke Again) is #3 at Apple Music and #8 at iTunes.

Waterparks’ third album, Fandom (Hopeless), splashes down at #7 while Chris Knight’s Almost Daylight (Drifters Church/Thirty Tigers) dawns at #9. The Dead South’s Sugar & Joy (Six Shooter) is #10.

At Apple Music, Lil Tjay’s True 2 Myself (Columbia) is #6 and Jaydayoungan Misunderstood opens at #12.

Besides Styles’ “Lights Up,” Sam Hunt has the other new entry at iTunes songs: “Kinfolk” (MCA Nashville) at #5.
