Lady Antebellum's new album sold 481,000 copies in its first week, which is more than such titans as Dave Matthews Band, The Black Eyed Peas, Michael Jackson and Jay-Z sold in any week in the past year.

Hope For Haiti Now is the latest in a long line of charity albums to crack the top 40 since the grand-daddy of such albums, The Concert For Bangla Desh, scored in late 1971. Here's the list.

Hope For Haiti Now makes history on two fronts. It's the first album ever to reach #1 solely through digital sales. And it's the first album from a charity concert or telethon ever to reach the top.

Lady Gaga's "Just Dance" tops the 5 million mark in paid downloads this week. But that's just the start of it. Between digital songs, her album and her EP, she has sold more than 21.5 million units.

Taylor Swift's Fearless logs its 52nd week in the top 10. The country/pop blockbuster is one of only 18 albums to spend a full year in the top 10 since 1963. The list is highly eclectic. See for yourself.

The charts often make for strange bedfellows, but that seems especially true this week. Ke$ha's debut album Animal enters The Billboard 200 at #1, dethroning Susan Boyle's I Dreamed A Dream.

For the first time, female solo artists occupy the top five spots on The Billboard 200. Susan Boyle, Lady Gaga, Alicia Keys, Mary J. Blige and Taylor Swift are the women who make history. (Or should that be her-story?)

Susan Boyle's 'I Dreamed A Dream' sold 510,000 more copies, bringing its five-week total to 2,968,000. With one chart week to go in 2009, Boyle is unlikely to overtake Taylor Swift's 'Fearless' as the year's best-selling album.

Susan Boyle's I Dreamed A Dream sold 661,000 copies last week. It's now the second best-selling album of 2009. Also, Metallica's 1991 smash Metallica becomes the top-selling album of the Nielsen/SoundScan era.

Susan Boyle is proving once again that December is the best month of the year to have a hit album. Album sales surge around this time every year as people search for last-minute Christmas and Hanukkah gifts. | Select a Blog | Posts |
