FLIPOVER FRIDAY: NEW ARRIVALS AT iTUNES & APPLE MUSIC

Thirteen new arrivals are jockeying for the Top 10 at iTunes, where the top two this Flipover Friday are as expected: Lizzo and j-hope. But at Apple Music, Steve Lacy is the top rookie of the week.

Lacy’s Gemini Rights (L-M/RCA) is streaming big right out of the box, opening at #4 at Apple Music. The next-closest new arrival on the streaming side is Mandopop star Jay Chou’s Greatest Works of Art (JVR/Sony Thailand) at #11. It’s #7 at iTunes.

Speaking of sales, Lizzo’s Special (Nice Life/Atlantic) holds down the top slot at iTunes.

j-hope’s Jack in the Box (Big Hit/Geffen) is #2, while at iTunes songs, nine Jack in the Box tracks—led by “Arson” at #2—are in the Top 15. They all nonetheless trail P!nk’s latest, “Irrelevant” (RCA), which is at #1.

Back at albums, Jeff Beck & Johnny Depp’s 18 (Deuce Music/Rhino) strums in at #3, followed by Lloyd BanksThe Course of the Inevitable 2 (Money by Any Means/Empire) at #4.

Less than two months after the release of his 34-track American Heartbreak, Zach Bryan returns with an EP, Summertime Blues (Belting Bronco/Warner), which sits at #5.

Interpol’s seventh full-length, The Other Side of Make-Believe (Matador), appears at #6, with Chicago’s XXXVIIIth album, Born for This Moment (Chicago/BMG), parking at #8.

Christine Perri’s a lighter shade of pale (Elektra) is in the #9 harum. Sabrina Carpenter’s emails I can’t send (Island) hits "reply all" at #10.

Yo Gotti and Moneybagg Yo have a collection with their CMG labelmates Gangsta Art (CMG/Interscope) that’s #16 at Apple Music and vying for the Top 10 at iTunes along with new titles from Senses Fail and DJ Premier.
