Kacey Musgraves' follow-up to her Grammy-winning Golden Hour, a 20-year-old Aaliyah album making its online debut, and the first full-length from Baby Keem lead the new arrivals at iTunes and Apple Music this flipover Friday.
Aaliyah’s self-titled third album for Blackground, originally released in 2001, and Musgraves' star-crossed (Mercury Nashville/Interscope) are the only two collections debuting in the Top 20 in both sales and streaming.

Back on the sales side, Barlow & Bear’s self-released The Unofficial Bridgerton Musical is #3 and Jeremy Camp’s When You Speak (Sparrow/Capitol CMG) chimes in at #4.
The Metallica Blacklist (Blackened), featuring 53 covers of songs from the band’s “black album,” opens at #6. Yebba, the Memphis singer heard on Drake’s Certified Lover Boy, opens at #7 with her debut, Dawn (RCA). AZ’s Doe or Die II (Quiet Money) is #8.
Mitchell Tenpenny’s eight-song EP Midtown Diaries (River House/Sony) parks at #9 and Endless Praise from Charity Gayle is #10.
