Powered by a $5.99 sale at iTunes, Kendrick Lamar’s 2012 tour-de-force, Good Kid, M.A.A.D City (TDE/Aftermath/Interscope), re-entered the chart, earning another 21k. Also on sale, Eardruma/Interscope's up-and-coming duo Rae Sremmurd re-entered the chart thanks to a 217% sales increase, earning another 6k.

Thanks to the success of their massive hit single, “Shut Up and Dance,” RCA’s Walk the Moon are this week’s big winner at SPS, coming in at #20.
