A couple of self-released titles, a late rapper and Dolly Parton are among the new arrivals at iTunes this Flipover Friday.
The DIYers, Tom MacDonald & Adam Calhoun, open at #1 with The Brave, while Elevation Worship’s 10th live album, LION, is at #3. Swedish power-metal band Sabaton's The War to End All Wars (Nuclear Blast) is between the two.
Parton’s Run, Rose, Run (Butterfly/Ingrooves/UMG), the musical companion to her novel, a thriller written with James Patterson, is #4.
King Von, who was shot and killed in November 2020, is the lone new arrival in the Top 10 at iTunes and Apple Music. His What It Means to Be King (Only the Family/Empire) is #5 in sales and the top new arrival on the streaming side, at #2. His song “War” is #11 at Apple Music.
Band of Horses’ Things Are Great (Huger Lewis and the Dudes/BMG) is stabled at #6, and Sueco’s It Was Fun While It Lasted (Atlantic) plops down at #7.
The Dead South has two EPs in the Top 10: Easy Listening for Jerks Pt. 1 (Six Shooter) is #8 and Pt. 2 settles in at #10.
New titles from Da Baby & YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Stromae, Mike Campbell & the Dirty Knobs, Diplo and Marc Anthony sit just outside the Top 10.
At iTunes songs, Kane Brown's "Leave You Alone" (RCA Nashville) leads the way at #2, and a few blasts from the past are doing well, too: “Bring Back the Time,” New Kids on the Block’s throwback single with En Vogue, Rick Astley and Salt-N-Pepa, is #3, and Tool’s “Opiate2” (Tool Dissectional/Volcano) is #6. Camila Cabello's new one with Ed Sheeran, "Bam Bam" (Epic), crashes in at #10.
