TOP 10 TRACKS: Big Machine’s Taylor Swift has taken over as her 10/27 release date nears. As the latest unbundled cut from the pre-order zooms to the top with just south of 200k, while her smash “Take It Off” picks up 5% to close in on 3k. The only other new entry on the big board is the follow-up from Capitol’s exploding Sam Smith (+24%), which arrives after a mere eight weeks. The vacancy was created by the release of Florida Georgia Line’s latest album, which sucked which Hoovered up the previous week’s instant-grat offering from the Republic Nashville crossover kings.
1. Taylor Swift, “Out of the Woods” – 195k
2. Taylor Swift, “Shake It Off” – 178k
3. Meghan Trainor, “All About That Bass” – 148k
4. Maroon 5, “Animals” – 117k
5. Jessie J + Ariana Grande + Nicki Minaj, “Bang Bang” – 96.2k

Knocking on the door—emphatically—are #11-13: “Cool Kids” from WB’s Echosmith and “Centuries” from Island’s Fall Out Boy, each of which enjoyed a 25% uptick, and “Take Me to Church” from Columbia’s ascending star Hozier, which is hitting critical mass following nine months of steady growth behind his recent SNL appearance and Beats spot with a whopping 358% gain.
