Didn't Ke$ha do it?

Katy Perry does double duty at No. 1 this week on both the Billboard 200 albums chart and the Digital Songs tally thanks to the arrival of her "Teenage Dream" album.

Her second Capitol effort starts atop the Billboard 200 with 192,000 according to Nielsen SoundScan -- marking her best sales week and a new chart high. She's the first solo woman to reign at No. 1 since January, when Ke$ha's "Animal" spent one week atop the list.

Over on the Digital Songs chart, "Teenage Dream's" title track moves up one spot to spend its first frame at No. 1 with 259,000 (up 24%).

Perry's last album, 2008's "One of the Boys," debuted and peaked at No. 9 in July of that year with 47,000 sold in its premiere week. Its best sales frame came over Christmas week of 2008 when it shifted 63,000 -- but at a lower rung on the tally.

On Digital Songs, "Teenage Dream" gives Perry her second No. 1 of the year. She earlier reigned for five weeks with the album's first single, "California Gurls." The latter is on the verge of becoming the year's top selling download with 3.6 million sold. Its sum falls just shy of 2010's best-seller: Train's "Hey, Soul Sister" (3.8 million).

Last week's Digital Songs No. 1, Lil Wayne's "Right Above It," tumbles hard to No. 10 with 101,000 (down 55%). That's the biggest positional drop from No. 1 since Artists for Haiti's "We Are the World 25: For Haiti" flew from No. 1 to No. 17 in its second week, on the chart dated Feb. 13.

Back on the Billboard 200 albums chart, former "American Idol" champ Fantasia starts at No. 2 with "Back To Me" (117,000). That marks her highest charting album yet. Her "Free Yourself" debut started and peaked at No. 8 in 2004 and her sophomore effort "Fantasia" topped out at No. 19 in 2006. The latter set entered the chart with 133,000 over a busy Christmas shopping week. The new album also debuts at No. 1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart -- the singer's first topper on that list. "Free Yourself" and "Fantasia" peaked at Nos. 2 and 3, respectively.

Eminem's "Recovery" retreats two spots to No. 3 this week with 98,000 (down 15%) while Usher enters at No. 4 with his new "Versus" album (46,000). He also earns a bullet at No. 19 with "Raymond v Raymond" (20,000; up 57%). The latter set was reissued in a deluxe edition with "Versus" as a bonus disc, much in the same way Lady Gaga unleashed "The Fame Monster" both as a stand-alone set last November in addition to bundling it with a reissue of her "The Fame" album. "Versus" gives Usher his sixth top 10 album.
