Sade - Soldier of Love albumIt was much of the same on this week's Billboard 200. The big selling album continues to be Sade's comeback LP, Soldier of Love.

For the third week in the row Sade ruled the charts with yet another no. 1 week with Soldier of Love, selling another 127,000 copies to beat out all current releases.

While Sade took the top spot, the Black Eyed Peas' The E.N.D. remains within the top 5, slipping one spot to no. 4 this week with 50,000 sold. To date, the album has sold 2,181,000 copies.

Lady Gaga's The Fame was right behind the Peas at no. 5 with 48,000 copies sold, while Lil Wayne's Rebirth fell to no. 6 with 37,000, putting the album at 361,000 sold thus far.

Ke$ha's Animal climbed back into the top 10 this week at no. 7 with 32,000; Alicia Keys' Element of Freedom landed at no. 13 with 24,000; and Rihanna's Rated R landed at no. 14 with just behind 24,000 as well.

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. 28) totaled 5.99 million units, down 8% compared to the sum last week (6.53 million) and down 13% compared to the comparable sales week of 2009 (6.91 million).

    The trend should not be 'independent.' But people should patronize real music like Sade's. People should not indulge in noise.
