The Billboard 200
Lionel Richie's "Tuskegee" kept Jason Mraz away from the No. 1 slot, as the former's album held at No. 1 for a second week with 114,000 (down 11%, according to Nielsen SoundScan). However, Mraz still had a banner week, earning both his highest charting album and best sales week (102,000). The entire top 10 was already recapped earlier this week, so let's take a look at some of the movers and shakers farther down the list:

Lionel Richie Holds at No. 1 on Billboard 200, Jason Mraz Debuts at No. 2

-- The Black Keys: An appearance on CBS' "Sunday Morning" (April 23) as well as a new version of the album released for Record Store Day (April 21) helps lift its "El Camino" album by 79% and to its best sales week (20,000) since February. The set vaults 39-16.

-- Laura Story & Chris Tomlin: Family Christian stores discounted Story's "Blessings" set to $5, hence its out-of-the-blue 261% increase and re-entry at No. 75. Fellow Christian act Chris Tomlin's "How Great Is Our God: The Essential Collection" re-enters at No. 87 (up 102%) courtesy of a "tax"ing sale price at Google Play (see below).

-- Luke Bryan: His "Tailgates & Tanlines" returns to the top 10 for the first time since September, rising 13-10 (28,000; up 11%), thanks to a one-day only $2.99 discount at Google Play. The offer helped numerous titles on the chart, including Florence + the Machine's "Lungs" (83-54; up 51%), Sublime's self-titled set (184-69; up 128%) and Amy Winehouse's "Lioness: Hidden Treasures" (192-104; up 49%). Others re-enter the list, like Maroon 5's "It Won't Be Soon Before Long" (No. 112; up 256%), Shania Twain's "Greatest Hits" (No. 114; up 224%) and Kanye West's "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" (No. 125; up 161%).

-- "Saturday Night Fever" soundtrack: "Glee's" April 17 "Saturday Night Fever" tribute episode enables the soundtrack's re-entry at No. 96 (up 678%). Watch for the late Whitney Houston's catalog to perhaps get a boost next week as the show celebrated the singer in its April 24 installment.

-- Metallica: The band's "Beyond Magnetic" EP re-enters at No. 171 with a 63% gain thanks to its (silver!) vinyl LP debut for Record Store Day. First released as a fan club exclusive, it made its digital debut in December, physical CD bow on Jan. 31 and finally on vinyl LP last weekend.

-- Luther Vandross: At No. 183, "Hidden Gems," a collection of album tracks and stray soundtrack cuts, marks the 21st entry for the late R&B singer (3,000 sold). He was last on the list for one week on Nov. 3, 2007 with the debut of the Love, Luther box set (No. 191).

I'm still amazed at the sales discrepancy between these two, especially because not only has WAY sold much more than STIUK, but fun. had a loyal pre-existing fanbase before this year, whereas Gotye didn't. I suppose that Making Mirrors is getting better word-of-mouth, though I really prefer Some Nights. Gotye will probably reach 1 million.

I'm happy about this, though:

He'll need ~22 weeks to get to 500k

Some Nights is a very nostalgic, reflective record for me. Not in the sound of the songs themselves but my own thoughts of them. It's definitely my favourite album of the year so far.

Damn, is that ever amazing to see or what?! 14.7 million sold in just the US. Incredible.

19 63 62 21 TRAIN SAVE ME SAN FRANCISCO 3626 53 2374 963172

1 million is within reach for these two albums, it might take long though

13 106 72 69 USHER CONFESSIONS 2374 8 2206 9980445
17 181 162 86 LINKIN PARK HYBRID THEORY 2210 46 1515 9941952

10 million, maybe some point this year?

[areyoureadytojump]

^Usher will be at 10 million in about 8-9 weeks.

Linkin Park in about 6 months.

IMO, fun. might need another decent sized hit song to bring up sales of their album, and I'm not sure that "Some Nights" (although I do like it) is that song.

Of course they haven't promoted "Some Nights"(the song) at all either yet, so maybe I"m underestimating its potential.

I'm curious as to how it might do on radio, but in terms of connecting with people, I think it's really proven itself. It might even be a stronger anthem than WAY.
