Billboard 200 Albums (January 4-11, 2012)
Quote:
As predicted, Adele's "21" album jumps back to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, marking its 14th non-consecutive week at the top of the tally.
The set sold 144,000 copies last week (down 64% according to Nielsen SoundScan) and continues to be the album with the most weeks at No. 1 since the "Titanic" soundtrack sailed with 16 weeks at No. 1 in 1998.
Among all albums by women, "21" now ties Whitney Houston's self-titled 1986 debut for the third-most weeks at No. 1. Only Houston's own soundtrack to "The Bodyguard" (20 weeks in 1992-1993) and Carole King's "Tapestry" (15 weeks in 1971) have earned more among the ladies.
Last week's No. 1 album, Michael Buble's "Christmas," drops to No. 24 with 21,000 (down 96%). It's the fourth album to fall from No. 1 to outside the top 20 in the past year, following Mac Miller's "Blue Slide Park" (1-23), Amos Lee's "Mission Bell" (1-25) and Cake's "Showroom of Compassion" (1-24).
A sudden drop for Buble's holiday effort isn't surprising -- even if it did spend five straight weeks at No. 1. Once Christmas has passed, holiday albums all suffer greatly.
As is often the case in the week after Christmas, few albums post a sales gain. The entire top 25 this week all decline. So, those sets with the smallest fall in sales often post big positional leaps up the tally.
Keeping in tradition with hip-hop and rock albums generally performing well post-Christmas (as iTunes gift cards are redeemed for what kids really wanted), Drake's "Take Care" moves 5-2 (72,000, down 45%) and Young Jeezy's "TM103: Hustlerz Ambition" is steady at No. 3 (67,000; down 71%).
Lady Antebellum's "Own the Night" rises 6-4 (54,000; down 51%) while LMFAO's "Sorry for Party Rocking" reaches the top 10 for the first time, zipping 16-5 with 49,000 (down 34%).
Florence + the Machine also jump into the top 10 with "Ceremonials" (20-6 with 47,000 -- down 25%). It's the first time the album has been in the region since its debut week on the tally -- Nov. 19, 2011.
Florence, LMFAO and Lady Antebellum's albums were all discounted to $6.99 in the iTunes Store last week and prominently promoted, which is no doubt the main reason for their moves up the chart. In terms of download album sales, "Ceremonials," "Sorry" and "Own" are up by 35%, 81% and 377%, respectively.
The Black Keys' "El Camino" rises 9-7 (45,000; down 51%), Coldplay's "Mylo Xyloto" moves 12-8 (44,000; down 48%) and Rihanna's "Talk That Talk" falls 7-9 (42,000; down 58%). Rounding out the top 10 is the "Now 40" compilation, holding at No. 10 with 41,000 (down 53%).
Adele almost nabbed two top 10 sets this week, as "19" bounds 17-11 with 35,000 (down 50% overall, but up 225% in downloads). It was also included in iTunes' limited-time $6.99 sale, which ran from Dec. 29 through Jan. 1.
iTunes' promotions also impact a number of sets outside the top 10, as Foster the People's "Torches" and Michael Jackson's "Number Ones" both see mighty jumps. The former rises 35-14 with 32,000 sold (down 24% overall but up 94% in download sales) while the King of Pop's hits set zooms 156-27 with 19,000 (up 79% overall and 681% in downloads). Also, Kelly Clarkson's "Stronger," which received front-of-store placement and $7.99 sale pricing, bounds 39-17 with 25,000 (down 40% overall, but up 232% in downloads).

So Adele will at least take second place in that record. 20 weeks is a challenge but she can do it with the grammys help I'm sure.

Lady Antebellum's Own The Night rebounds from #6 to #4 its 16th week on The Billboard 200. It's #1 on Top Country Albums for the seventh week. That's the longest run at #1 on the country chart since Jason Aldean's My Kinda Party logged 12 weeks at #1.

The entire top 10 sold more than 40k. I think this is a pretty good number
Just realized that 13 albums sold more than 1 million copies last year. Is this a good amount?
