Obviously the competition around that time wasn't very large if an album in its sixth week still held the top spot and a soundtrack closed off the top ten.
1. Cake, Showroom Of Compassion, 44,000. This new entry is the band's first top 10 and #1 album. The album sold 19,000 digital copies, which also puts it at #1 on the Digital Albums chart. "Sick Of You" enters Hot Digital Songs at #158.

I know how popular Taylor Swift was, but it was her sixth week, and apparently no other popular acts released around that time because they would've dethroned her.
A think the bigger question is "Will Stronger ever again reach the top 10"
Frankly I think no. Top 20, however is a possibility.
I'm guessing that once WDKY and Dark Side are underway we'll sporadically reappear in the Top 10, but it won't be too often. We'll definitely reappear in the Top 20 again, though.
Bookmarking that for future embarrassment I don't think we'll see a top #30 entrance in Jan, maybe in Feb it will hit #20 or so. March MAYBE a top #10, but WDKY will have to smash hard.
