Album Charts: Pop Acts Top the Charts, But Alicia Keys, Mary J Still Going Strong
By BallerStatus News Staff ♦ Published 01/14/2010

It was a slow week for urban releases, but someone new finally knocked Susan Boyle's I Dreamed A Dream from the top slot ... a new release from Ke$ha. The pop star landed atop the Billboard 200 with Animal, selling 152,000 copies, but Lady Gaga, Alicia Keys and Mary J. Blige was on her heels.

Lady Gaga's The Fame was bounced down one to no. 3 with 66,000, while Alicia Keys' The Element of Freedom landed at no. 2 with 62,000, and Mary J. Blige's Stronger With Each Tear came in right behind them at no. 5 with 47,000.

Later within the top 10 was the Black Eyed Peas' The E.N.D., holding steady at no. 8 with 36,000.

Than, Rihanna lands at no. 11 with Rated R selling 27,000 copies to put her over the gold marker with 526,000 copies sold; while the Young Money compilation, We Are Young Money, earned the no. 13 spot with 26,000.

The last album within the top 20 was Eminem's Relapse, scanning 24,000 copies.

That does it this week. To cop any of these new releases, head over to Amazon.com.

According to Billboard.com, overall album sales in this past chart week (ending Jan. 10) totaled 5.92 million units, down 24% compared to the sum last week (7.76 million) and down 5% compared to the comparable sales week of 2009 (week ending Jan. 11; 6.25 million).
