Normani steps into the Top 10 on iTunes songs chart while another Fifth Harmony member has a single knocking on the Top 10’s door this flipover Friday.
Smith and Normani’s “Dancing With a Stranger” (

SYCO/
Columbia) while
Lana Del Rey’s lower case Wednesday release, “hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have—but I have it” (

Khalid f/
Kane Brown’s “Saturday Nights” (
RCA) is #14.
Over at albums,
Randy Houser’s
Magnolia (

Born of Osiris,
The Simulation (
Sumerian), throws down at #10;
Verkligheten (
Nuclear Blast), the 11th album from Sweden’s
Soilwork, digs in at #11; and the first album in four years from the Ukraine’s
