For the third week in a row, Eminem rules supreme on the Billboard 200, beating out all over albums with yet another no. 1 week with his latest set, Recovery.

The album took in another 229,000 sales to put his total at 1.28 million units sold. The feat makes Recovery the first album to hold the top spt for three consecutive weeks on the Billboard 200 since March.

The last album to string three weeks in a row was Sade's Soldier of Love.

Drake held tight at no. 2 for another week, selling another 74,000 copies of his debut, Thank Me Later. So far, he's sold 783,000.

Right behind Drake is OutKast's Big Boi with his debut solo album, Sir Lucious Left Foot ... The Son of Chico Dusty. The album bowed at no. 3 and sold 62,000 copies.

Later, Lady Gaga's The Fame continues to move off the shelves. Her album climbed five spots to no. 8 this week with 29,000 copies; while The-Dream's Love King fell from no. 4 last week to no. 12 this week with 23,000; and Usher's Raymond v. Raymond closes out the top tier at no. 17 with 19,000.

Outside the top 20, we have a couple new releases -- one from Juvenile and another from Kelis.

Kelis' Flesh Tone debuted at no. 46 with just 7,800 copies sold. It's the singer's first new album since 2006's Kelis Was Here, which debuted at no. 10 and eventually hit platinum sales certification.

Juve's new album, Beast Mode, opens at no. 55 and sold a meager 6,400 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 July 11) totaled 5.23 million units, down 5% compared to the sum last week (5.54 million) and down28% compared to the comparable sales week of 2009 (7.27 million).
