His 'Life on a Rock' pushes last week's No. 1
album, Michael Buble's 'To Be Loved', down to
the second place.
Kenny
Chesney 's
new album
" Life on a
Rock "
debuts at
the top of
the
Billboard
200 this
week with
153,000
copies
sold, giving
the country crooner his seventh No. 1 album
on the chart, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
This puts Chesney behind Garth Brooks who
holds the record for country act with the most
No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200.
Slipping to No. 2 this week is last week's top
album, Michael Buble's "To Be Loved ", down
51% with 96,000 units sold. Meanwhile, sitting
still at the third spot for the fourth
consecutive week now is Justin Timberlake 's
" The 20/20 Experience" declining only slightly
by 8% with 68,000 records more moved this
week. It's now JT's seventh straight week in the
top three, with his album's first three sales
weeks spent at the top of the charts.
Fantasia Barrino 's " Side Effects of You" drops
two places from No. 2 to No. 4, with its sales
down by 60% with the 36,000 albums
purchased this week. Getting back into the top
ten from eleventh place is Macklemore & Ryan
Lewis with "The Heist ", up 24% with 35,000,
just a little over the almost identical 35,000
posted by Blake Shelton's "Based on a True
Story... ", down 3% this week but managed to
keep the No. 6 spot for another week.
Rising to No. 7 is last week's No. 10, Pink 's
" The Truth About Love ", despite being down by
8% with 26,000 units. Also making a re-entry
into the top ten after four weeks is Bruno
Mars and his " Unorthodox Jukebox", climbing
back up to No. 8 from No. 13 even with a
minor 4% increase in its sales with a little less
than the 26,000 moved by Pink.
At No. 9 is country act Randy Rogers Band 's
" Trouble" album which is the only other debut
in the chart this week, also with 26,000 slightly
less than Mars. Rounding up the top ten this
week is Imagine Dragons with their album
" Night Visions", also climbing back into the
top ten after several weeks from No. 15 with
24,000 copies sold, up by 14%.
