Album Charts: Sade's Soldier Of Love Stays Put At No. 1 For Second Week
By BallerStatus News Staff ♦ Published 02/25/2010

Sade - Soldier of Love albumIt's a slow week on the Billboard 200, as far as new releases, so many of the recent chart-toppers are still within the top tier, including Sade's comeback album, staying put at no. 1.

Sade's Soldier of Love maintained its reign at the top for the second week in a row, selling another 190,000 copies.

In at no. 2, climbing five spots, is the Black Eyed Peas' The E.N.D., selling 65,000 copies.

Lady Gaga's The Fame also rose three slots to land at the no. 4 spot with 63,000; and while Lil Wayne's Rebirth falls one position to no. 5 with 58,000.

A couple spots down, at no. 7, Alicia Keys' The Element of Freedom leaps up from no. 12 thanks to another 39,000 copies sold; while Jaheim's Another Round slips five positions to no. 8 in its second week with 36,000.

That does it for the top 20 spots.

Much later, we have Freeway and Jake One's album The Stimulus Package, released off Rhymesayers Entertainment, coming in at no. 61 with a little over 9,000 copies sold; and Wu affiliate Mathematics comes in at no. 163 with his Wu compilation, Return of the Wu & Friends, selling 3,400 copies.

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. 21) totaled 6.53 million units, down 17% compared to the sum last week (7.83 million) and down 12% compared to the comparable sales week of 2009 (7.41 million).

    No surprise here because its a great album. I loved it and it shows you that you don't need all the gimmicks and guest appearances on a album to sell it. Your vocal talent alone should be able to do that. By the end of the year (also after the tour has ended) I estimate she can sell 2 million copies. Heck, after two weeks she's already around the corner from Platinum.
