It’s a sunny and bright Flipover Friday for
Ariana Grande and
Carly Pearce.
Grande has secured impressive positions on multiple charts; the deluxe edition of her
Positions (Republic) tops the
Apple Music album chart and is #3 at iTunes, while the set’s four new songs are all in the Top 10 at iTunes, led by “test drive.”
Pearce's seven-song EP
29 (
BMLG), her third album, tops the album chart at
iTunes.
Yelawolf &
Caskey’s
YelaWolf Blacksheep (
Slumerican) is at #2, and
Kevin Gates’
Only the Generals Pt. II is #4. The
Bread Winners Association release is #9 at Apple Music.
The Hold Steady’s eighth album,
Open Door Policy (
Positive Jams/
Thirty Tigers) walks in at #6, the second album from
Tash Sultana,
Terra Firma (
Lonely Land/
Mom+Pop), is #7,
Icon for Hire’s self-released
Amorphous takes shape at #8 and
David Gray sails into #9 with
Skellig (
Laugh a Minute/
AWAL).
Deluxe editions are having an impact beyond the iTunes album list;
HAIM’s collab with
Taylor Swift, “Gasoline,” from the expanded edition of
Women in Music Pt. III (
Columbia), fuels up at #6 at iTunes songs, and new bonus tracks push
Trippie Redd’s
Neon Shark vs. Pegasus (
1400/
Ten Thousand Projects) to #6 at Apple Music.
