Elsewhere at iTunes, the prolific Sturgill Simpson parks The Ballad of Dood & Juanita (High Top Mountain/Thirty Tigers) at #3; Danny Gokey’s Jesus People (Capitol CMG) populates #7; and Anderson East’s Maybe We Never Die (Low Country Sound/Elektra) is at #10.
In addition to having the #1 cut at iTunes songs, Ed Sheeran’s second release from his upcoming album, “Visiting Hours” (Atlantic), drops in at #4.
