YE JOLLY OLDE iTUNES U.K. CHARTS: Fifty years after the British Invasion, the Yanks are turning the tables, as U.S. forces occupy the tops of both charts and establish strong positions below the summits as well. Among the highlights, John Legend is breaking simultaneously back home and in the U.K., Aloe Blacc is now “The Man” on both sides of the pond, the Frozen soundtrack is showing that it travels well, and HAIM appears to be hitting critical mass in Britain, replicating takeovers by The Strokes and Kings of Leon in the early 2000s. The Legend and HAIM U.K. offensives are now the responsibility of the aforementioned Jason Iley, btw. (4/4a)
