Back at iTunes, Duran Duran’s Future Past (Tape Modern/BMG) is presently #3; Starset’s Horizons (Fearless) rises to #4; and Dream Theater’s A View From the Top of the World (Ytse James/InsideOut) looks down from #5.

Rufus Du Soul’s Surrender (Rose Avenue/Reprise) is #9 at iTunes and cracks the Top 30 at Apple Music.

Every Time I Die’s Radical and the Super Deluxe edition of The Rolling Stones’ Tattoo You are just outside the Top 10 along with new titles from Pistol Annies, Jesse James Decker and My Morning Jacket.

At iTunes songs, “Big Subwoofer” (Def Jam) from Snoop Dogg’s supergroup Mount Westmore is new at #9.
