Jquery loop conditional expression

How do I write a conditional statement for a jquery $ .each loop? I tried to follow the guidelines in Is there a conditional loop with $ .each function in jQuery and other posts, however I couldn't get it to work:

$.each((rgJson1["release-groups"]), function(index, item) {  

var workTitle = item.title;
var pType = item['primary-type'];
var frDate = item['first-release-date'];

if (pType = "Album") {

console.log(workTitle);

}

});

      

        
        
        
      

    

When I tried it, it set the pType variable to Album. So, I tried:

if (item['primary-type'] = "Album") {

console.log(item.title);

      

        
        
        
      

    

But it still didn't work. I've also tried many different combinations of brackets, quotes and the like, but I haven't found a solution.
