The 2010 Grammy Nominees compilation climbed three slots to no. 5 with 71,000, while Grammy performers and winners, the Black Eyed Peas, saw their The E.N.D. jump four spots to no. 6 with 70,000.

Outside the top 10 we have Michael Jackson's This Is It at no. 11 with 35,000, Alicia Keys' Element of Freedom at no. 13 with 34,000, and Beyonce's I Am ... Sasha Fierce rose 21 spots up to no. 14 with 32,000 copies sold.

That wraps things up 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 Feb. 7) totaled 6.72 million units, up 3.3% compared to the sum last week (6.50 million) and down 8.3% compared to the comparable sales week of 2009 (7.32 million).

    'Rebirth' is a decent album. Nothing stellar or noteworthy, but it's far from horrible. Especially compared to the trash heaps rap cats have been leaving on the curb lately. If you like Wayne, peep it. 'No Ceilings' as well.

    Rebirth was leaked like two months ahead of time. That is why is sold so poorly, imo.
