For a third non-consecutive week, Lil Wayne's "Tha Carter III" (Cash Money/Universal) tops The Billboard 200. The set moved 125,000 copies during the tracking week, according to Nielsen SoundScan, a 20% drop in sales from the week previous.
Coldplay's "Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends" (Capitol) sits tight at No. 2 for a second week with 113,000 (-25%) while the Jonas Brothers-led soundtrack to Disney's "Camp Rock" keeps the No. 3 spot warm with 88,000 (-23%).
Arriving at No. 4, Beck's "Modern Guilt" (Interscope) debuts with 84,000. His previous set, 2006's "The Information," bowed at No. 7 but sold 99,000.
Kid Rock's "Rock N Roll Jesus" (Atlantic) continues to resurge with the help of the Hot AC/Adult Top 40 single "All Summer Long," climbing 7-5 with 61,000 (+34%). The multi-label "Now 28" compilation stays at No. 6 with a 17% decrease to 48,000.
The Decca soundtrack to "Mamma Mia!," the film adaptation of the hit theatrical musical based on ABBA's songbook, debuts at No. 7 on The Billboard 200 with 48,000. The film hits theaters in the U.S. on Friday, so there's a good chance the album could see a sizable gain on next week's chart.
In its 58th week on the chart, Rihanna's "Good Girl Gone Bad" (SRP/Def Jam) ascends 9-8 with 47,000, a 17% increase. G-Unit's sophomore set, "T.O.S. (Terminate on Sight)" (G-Unit/Interscope) sold 36,000 (-64%), slipping 4-9. John Mayer's "Where the Light Is: John Mayer Live in Los Angeles" falls 5-10 in its second week to 34,000 (-64%).
Willie Nelson and Wynton Marsalis' "Two Men with the Blues" (Blue Note) opens at No. 20 (22,000) and also becomes Nelson's first No. 1 on the Top Jazz Albums chart. Other debuts include Los Temerarios' "Si Tu Te Vas" at No. 26 (Fonovisa, 17,000) and pop-punk act the Maine's "Can't Stop Won't Stop" at No. 40 (Fearless, 12,000).
At 7.33 million units, sales this week are down 3% from last week's sum and off 11.7% from the same week last year.
Top Ten:
1. Lil Wayne, The Carter III (125,000)
2. Coldplay, Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends (113,000)
3. Camp Rock Soundtrack (88,000)

Not always. One example I'll never forget is how "Britney" sold over 760k according to HDD and Billboard reporting 746k.  There are maaaany other cases, btw.

Jordin sells in the mid 7000's this week. Hopefully her sales pick up when OSAAT gets bigger. Album at exactly 850,000. 150,000 to go. I think she's got this! The tour, OSAAT and 4th single, possible TCA awards and grammy nods for NO AIR (not a for sure win, but I know it'll get nominated) and the Jesse/ Jordin tour should get her the million!
Oh and BTW, No Air is only 170,000 digital downloads behind Before He Cheats... If she continues to sell 30,000 for the next few weeks she will have the biggest idol single ever.

Haha, this made me feel kinda sad for Carrie cause that's one of her most proud record ... But happy for Jordin then. (BHC is still selling at a rate of 9k/week)
Tattoo is at 1.72 mil and selling abt 8k/week.
Last name is selling at a rate of more than 20k/wk and 418k in total. Meaning she needs to push abt 4-5 more weeks to get another Gold certificate!  Yay, 3 Golds from Carnival Ride ...

I thought it said 879,000? Anywho, I hope the Madonna tour could boost some type of random sales, and get to 900k.

^I meant for Britters.  LOL, but yeah "Hard Candy" is done unfortunately. Unless "Miles Away" is the knock-out hit as most expect it to be.
