Justin Bieber jumps over Usher for No. 1 spot
After spending a week behind the R&B star who signed him, Justin Bieber returns to No. 1 onBillboard’s latest album chart. Riding a successful appearance on NBC’s Saturday Night Livelast Saturday, his My World 2.0sold another 102,000 copies. Bieber’s previous release, My World, is also still in the top 10, at No. 8. His latest set debuted at No. 1 and remained there for two weeks before his label headUsher knocked him to No. 2. last week selling, 329,000 copies. This week his Raymond v. Raymond drops to No.2, selling 92,000 copies.
The chart’s highest debut comes in at No. 3 from guitar hero Slash. His self-titled album and first as a solo artist sold 30,000. Erykah Badu’s New Amerykah Part Two: Return of the Ankh , last weeks No. 4 dropped to five spots to No. 9.
The second and last top 10 debut is Madonna’s Sticky & Sweet Tour, at No. 10, selling 28,000. The live album from her 2009 tour is Madge’s 19th top 10 set. She’s now tied with Bob Dylan at sixth place for most top 10 albums ever. Getting to the seventh spot proves to be a tough order, though. They’ll have to nearly double their 19 to beat the Rolling Stones, who have 36.
So that is what’s new on the album chart. Bieber fever still has kids hot.Happy with the results?
