Not much going on this week on the Billboard 200, urban-wise. Bruce Springsteen's latest ruled supreme. However, a few usual suspects are still selling strong.
Beyonce's I Am ... Sasha Fierce sold another 52,000 copies this week, but she dipped one spot to no. 3 this week.
A couple spots behind B is Kanye West's 808s and Heartbreak, descending from no. 4 to no. 5 this week with pushing 33,000 copies off the shelves.
The Grammy Nominees 2009 compilation, though, scored a no. 6 debut, scanning 33,000 copies. The album boasts songs from this year's crop of nominees, including Adele, Lil Wayne, T-Pain and Ne-Yo, among others.
Rising from no. 7 to no. 8 this week is Jamie Foxx's Intuition, recording 32,000 more sales, while Keyshia Cole's A Different Me fell two spots to no. 8 with 31,000 units flying off store shelves.
Britney Spears' Circus rounds out the top 10, with 28,000 more copies sold this week.
Much later down the line is Katt William's comedy CD, It's Pimpin' Pimpin', debuting at a disappointing no. 174 with just over 3,000 copies bought.
According to Billboard.com, sales are up 1.2% compared to the same total last week but are off by 14% compared to the same week in 2008.
