Billboard 200 Albums (September 19-26, 2012)
Quote:
For only the second time in history, the entire top six albums on the Billboard 200 chart are debuts. Led by Dave Matthews Band's "Away From the World" at No. 1, the top six are new arrivals for the first time since the Oct. 11, 2003 chart.
That week, OutKast snared its first No. 1 with "Speakerboxx/The Love Below." The duo's smash album was followed by new entries at Nos. 2-6 by, respectively, Dave Matthews' "Some Devil," Limp Bizkit's "Results May Vary," R. Kelly's "The R. in R&B Collection," Obie Trice's "Cheers" and Nickelback's "The Long Road."
On this week's chart: Dave Matthews Band's "Away From the World" is trailed by arrivals from Little Big Town's "Tornado," Bob Dylan's "Tempest," the Avett Brothers' "The Carpenter," the xx's "Coexist" and ZZ Top's "La Futura."
Dave Matthews Band's "Away From the World" shifted 266,000 in its first week -- according to Nielsen SoundScan -- easily securing the top slot. It's a record sixth straight No. 1-debuting studio album for the band. The act's last album, 2009's "Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King," started with a more robust sales sum: 424,000. In fact, "Away From the World's" opening figure is the band's smallest launch for a studio release since 1996's "Crash" bowed at No. 2 with 254,000.
Little Big Town's "Tornado" No. 2 start gives the country quartet its highest charting album ever -- and its best sales week (113,000). Hot off the success of its first No. 1 Country Songs hit "Pontoon," the act also nets its second No. 1 on the Country Albums chart with "Tornado."
Bob Dylan nets his fifth consecutive top 10 studio album as "Tempest" starts at No. 3 with 110,000. It follows 1997's "Time Out of Mind" (No. 10), 2001's "Love and Theft" (No. 5), 2006's "Modern Times" (No. 1) and 2009's "Together Through Life" (No. 1). The latter debuted with 125,000.
The Avett Brothers grab its best week ever on the Billboard 200 as "The Carpenter" climbs in with 98,000 at No. 4. Until this week, the act hadn't reached the top 10 with five previous entries. Their high-water mark came with 2009's "I and Love and You," which debuted and peaked with its then-biggest sales week: 40,000.Rock act the xx also bulldozes past its previous biggest week thanks to the 73,000 racked by its sophomore album "Coexist" and its No. 5 entry. The band's self-titled debut reached No. 92 in 2010 and spent 41 weeks on the tally.
Rounding out the top six debuts is legendary ZZ Top with its highest debuting album ever, "La Futura" (No. 6; 31,000). The set -- the band's first studio release since 2003's "Mescalero" -- gives the trio its best rank since 1990's "Recycler" reached No. 6. It's also ZZ Top's first visit to the top 10 since 1992, when "Greatest Hits" went to No. 9. The band's 31,000 debut is its largest sales week since early 1994, when "Antenna" moved 38,000 in its fifth week on the chart.The new album is ZZ Top's first for American Recordings after four studio efforts for RCA between 1994 and 2003.
Three holdovers populate the top 10 this week: Imagine Dragons' "Night Visions" falls 2-7 (29,000; down 65%), Matchbox Twenty's"North" tumbles 1-8 (28,000; down 71%) and the "Now 43" compilation dips 4-9 (24,000; down 31%).
Rounding out the top 10 is the seventh and final new arrival to the region: Amanda Palmer's "Theatre is Evil," debuting at No. 10 with 24,000. Of the set's first week, 93% of its sales came from digital downloads or via Internet retailers. That huge share isn't surprising: Much of those sales are owed to a Kickstarter campaign mounted by Palmer to fund the making of the album. Many of those who pledged a certain amount of money to the project also received either a download or physical copy of the album.

The least this lil collab experience could do is go #1. 
The iTunes mess shouldn't do too much cause after all he sells more physicals than digital.

Was it discounted, or did the sales go up because the tour is now in the US?
