Dolly Parton rocks the
iTunes chart this Flipover Friday, while three new arrivals race up the Top 25 at both iTunes and
Apple Music.
Opening at #1 on the sales side is Parton’s first album since she was inducted into the
Rock & Roll Hall of Fame,
Rockstar (
Butterfly/
BMLG), a 30-track set packed with rock stars like
Paul McCartney,
Elton John,
Debbie Harry and
Joan Jett.
Drake’s
For All the Dogs: Scary Hours Edition (
OVO/
Republic), adds six songs to the early October original, landing at #1 at Apple Music, #6 at iTunes. All six tracks are in the Top 25 at iTunes, led by “Evil Ways” f/
J. Cole. “Red Button” is the first to go Top 20 at Apple Music.
André 3000’s collection of instrumentals,
New Blue Sun (
Epic), opens at #2 at iTunes and #21 at Apple Music.
2 Chainz &
Lil Wayne’s collab,
Welcome to Collegrove (
Gamebread/
Def Jam), is #3 on the sales side and #13 on the streaming chart.
Kenny Wayne Shepherd’s
Dirt on My Diamonds, Vol. 1 (
Mascot/
Provogue) polishes the #7 slot, and the
Toby Keith collection
100% Songwriter (
Mercury Nashville/
UMe) inks #9.
Just outside the Top 10 are the New Broadway Cast album of
Merrily We Roll Along (
Masterworks Broadway),
Disney’s soundtrack to
Wish and
Jason Kelce’s
A Philly Special Christmas.
Kelce, the
Philadelphia Eagles center, and his brother,
Kansas City Chiefs tight end
Travis, aka
Taylor’s boyfriend, have the top-selling single, “Fairytale of Philadelphia,” a twist on
The Pogues’ holiday standard—complete with the use of the word “jabroni.” Also new at iTunes songs is
Warren Zeiders’ “Sin So Sweet” (
717/
Warner), at #5.
