Billboard 200 Albums (December 29-January 5, 2012)
Quote:
Michael Buble's "Christmas" album spends a fifth straight week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, selling 467,000 copies according to Nielsen SoundScan. Its sales were up 4% in the tracking week that ended on Dec. 25, Christmas day.
Buble's "Christmas" is now -- so far -- the year's second-best selling album with 2.43 million sold. Adele's "21" is 2011's biggest, with 5.68 million. As there is one more week left in the year (ending Jan. 1, 2012), we'll have the full report on the year's top sellers on Wednesday, Jan. 4.
As for this week's chart, Adele's "21" holds at No. 2, selling 399,000 (up 44%) -- its best sales week yet. Its previous high came during its debut frame (44 weeks ago!), when it bowed at No. 1 with 352,000.
Watch for "21" to return to the top of the chart next week -- for a 14th non-consecutive frame -- as Buble's "Christmas" set will certainly tumble from the No. 1 position. (Holiday albums fall down the chart rapidly once Christmas passes. Last year, Susan Boyle's "The Gift" fell from No. 2 to No. 31 in the week following Christmas.)
Young Jeezy's "TM:103 Hustlerz Ambition" debuts at No. 3 with 233,000-- the rapper's fifth-straight top five set (his entire output, including the U.S.D.A. mix tape in 2007). His last release, 2008's "The Recession," started at No. 1 with 260,000.
Justin Bieber's "Under the Mistletoe" slips 3-4 with 225,000 (up 32%), Drake's "Take Care" moves 7-5 with 131,000 (up 71%) and Lady Antebellum's "Own the Night" slides 5-6 with 110,000 (up 36%).
Rihanna's "Talk That Talk" jumps 14-7 (99,000; up 83%) after AmazonMP3 sale priced the set. Naturally, it also saw a huge 163% increase in download sales.
Nickelback's "Here and Now" drops 6-8 (with just under 99,000; up 23%) while the Black Keys' "El Camino" falls 4-9 (92,000; up 9%) and the "Now 40" compilation rises 11-10 (88,000; up 38%).
After Young Jeezy, the next highest debut is found at No. 18, where Common's "The Dreamer, the Believer" enters with 69,000. Jeezy and Common are the only two debuts on the entire Billboard 200 tally this week.

Well, yeah... it's a Christmas album. 
21 will be #1 though. There's no way it won't.

Adele is truly a force to be reckoned with. We picking up some extra weeks at #1 in January and definitely in February too.

Micheal & Rihanna
Michael is going to fall hard next week , he's already out of the top 20 on iTunes. It's understandable though.
