2. David Bowie’s Blackstar falls from the top spot to no. 4. Similarly, Best Of Bowie slips from no. 4 to no. 7.

3. Kidz Bop makes its presence known at no. 6 with Kidz Bop 31. Those Kidz know how to score a top 10 album consistently, that’s for sure!

9. Taylor Swift’s 1989 slips out of the top 20 for the first time this week. The album falls six spots from no. 15 to no. 21.

Thanks to some Google Play magic – aka price slashing to the tune of $.99 – Fleetwood Mac’s Greatest Hits and Blake Shelton’s Reloaded: 20 no. 1 Hits fly up the charts sitting at no. 25 and no. 26 respectfully. Fleetwood Mac’s set made the biggest jump of the two rising from no. 66 to no. 25. Others sets also see a spike in sales.
