Assuming sales don't completely implode next week, Bruno Mars will pass 750k. Rihanna and Mumford & Sons will pass 1 million!

www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/charts-articles/chart-alert/justin-bieber-scores-second-no-1-album-with-1005044352.storyJustin Bieber notches his second No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 with "Never Say Never: The Remixes" opening in the top slot with 161,000 copies sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan. His first topper came with "My World 2.0," which debuted at No. 1 as well, on the April 10, 2010, chart, with 283,000. Overall, "Never Say Never" is the Bieb's fourth top 10 album on the tally, joining previous hits "My World" (No. 5) and "My Worlds Acoustic" (No. 7). More stunning: All four of Bieber's albums are in the top 40 this week, the first time an artist has managed the feat since 1993. ("2.0" is No. 8, "Acoustic" is No. 18, and "World" is No. 31.) The last artist to concurrently chart as many in the top 40 was Garth Brooks on Jan. 23, 1993. The country king -- at the height of Garth Mania -- held down the Nos. 2, 23, 26 and 29 slots that week with "The Chase," "Beyond the Season," "Ropin' the Wind" and "No Fences," respectively. Bieber's "Never Say Never: The Remixes" is the first remix album to top the Billboard 200 in almost a decade. The last to do so was Jennifer Lopez's "J to tha L-O! The Remixes," which reigned for two weeks beginning Feb. 23, 2002. Overall album sales in this past chart week (ending Feb. 20) totaled 7.2 million units, up 12% compared with the sum last week (6.4 million) and up 10% compared with the comparable sales week of 2010 (6.5 million). Year-to-date album sales stand at 40 million, down 11% compared with the same total at this point last year (45.1 million). Next week's Billboard 200 competes with the same week in 2010 when: Sade's "Soldier of Love" held at No. 1 for a third week (127,000; down 34%) while Johnny Cash's "American VI: Ain't No Grave" was the tally's highest new entry, coming in at No. 3 with 54,000.

I think it's just because of all the Grammy boosts though, it didn't fall on the same week last year.

Yep. Last year's Grammy week totaled 7.8 million (unless I'm looking at the wrong week).

^When did the Grammys fall last year? Could be why there's an increase year-to-year. Regardless, good news for the industry- at least for this week.

His first topper came with "My World 2.0," which debuted at No. 1 as well, on the April 10, 2010, chart, with 283,000. Overall, "Never Say Never" is the Bieb's fourth top 10 album on the tally, joining previous hits "My World" (No. 5) and "My Worlds Acoustic" (No. 7). More stunning: All four of Bieber's albums are in the top 40 this week, the first time an artist has managed the feat since 1993. ("2.0" is No. 8, "Acoustic" is No. 18, and "World" is No. 31.)

Bieber's "Never Say Never: The Remixes" is the first remix album to top the Billboard 200 in almost a decade. The last to do so was Jennifer Lopez's "J to tha L-O! The Remixes," which reigned for two weeks beginning Feb. 23, 2002. Bieber's mini-album includes four remixes, a live version of "Overboard" and two studio tunes that weren't previously on an album: the title track and "Born to Be Somebody." The latter, written by Diane Warren, plays over the end credits to the Bieb's documentary film of the same name, which has racked up $48 million at the U.S. and Canada box office since it opened on Feb. 11. The teen phenom's big week was no doubt also fueled by the Feb. 13 Grammy Awards, where he performed on the show. The awards' power is felt on the tally in full effect this week, now that we've had a week's worth of impact. Bieber's fellow new artist nominee Mumford & Sons holds at No. 2 with their "Sigh No More," but sells 133,000 (up 169%) -- its best sales week so far. The title was helped not just by the Grammys, but also by Amazon MP3's sale-pricing of the set for $5.99. Last week's No. 1, the "Now 37" compilation, slips to No. 3 with 95,000 (down 37%) while Lady Antebellum's "Need You Now" flies 17-4 (85,000; up 205%). Lady A performed the album's title track on the show, and the song won the awards for song and record of the year, as well as for best country performance by a duo or group with vocals and best country song. The "Need You Now" set also took the honor for best country album. Grammy also smiles on Bruno Mars' "Doo-Wops & Hooligans" (6-5 with 61,000; up 55%), Eminem's "Recovery" (7-6 with almost 61,000; up 60%), the "2011 Grammy Nominees" album (11-7 with 56,000; up 67%) and the aforementioned "My World 2.0" (falling five spots, 3-8, with 54,000, though it's up 13%). Nicki Minaj's "Pink Friday" falls 4-9 with 46,000 while Rihanna (another Grammy performer) slips 8-10 with 45,000 (though she gains by 24%). Just outside the top 10, zipping 52-12, is surprise album of the year winner "The Suburbs" by Arcade Fire (41,000; up 238%) while super-surprise best new artist champ Esperanza Spalding re-enters at No. 34 with "Chamber Music Society" (18,000; up 476%). Overall album sales in this past chart week (ending Feb. 20) totaled 7.2 million units, up 12% compared with the sum last week (6.4 million) and up 10% compared with the comparable sales week of 2010 (6.5 million). Year-to-date album sales stand at 40 million, down 11% compared with the same total at this point last year (45.1 million).

new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/chart_watch/74333/week-ending-feb-20-2011-albums-an-early-birthday-present/Week Ending Feb. 20, 2011: Albums: An Early Birthday Present Posted 40 minutes ago by Paul Grein in Chart Watch Justin Bieber's 17th birthday isn't until March 1, but he's already gotten some amazing presents. His movie, Justin Bieber: Never Say Never, has grossed $51,237,000 in its first two weekends; he's on the cover of the current issue of Rolling Stone; and now his hit EP Never Say Never: The Remixes enters The Billboard 200 at #1. It's Bieber's second #1 album, following last year's My World 2.0. Only three other artists in chart history have landed a pair of #1 albums before their 17th birthdays. Miley Cyrus had her second #1 album (counting Hannah Montana) when she was 14 and seven months. LeAnn Rimes secured her second when she was 15. Nick Jonas of Jonas Brothers had his second when he was 16 and nine months. All four of Bieber's albums are listed in the top 40 this week. My World 2.0 drops from #3 to #8. My Worlds Acoustic drops from #10 to #18. My World jumps from #39 to #31. Billboard's Keith Caulfield reports that Bieber is the first artist to put four albums in the top 40 simultaneously since Garth Brooks did it in January 1993. Never Say Never is the third EP to hit #1 in the past 10 months, following a pair of Glee titles, The Power Of Madonna and Journey To Regionals. Several other EPs have made the top five in the past couple of years, as labels try to find a way around declining album sales and a flat economy. Miley Cyrus' The Time Of Our Lives reached #2. Blake Shelton's Hillbilly Bone hit #3. Usher's Versus reached #4. Bieber's My World and Lady Gaga's The Fame Monster each hit #5. Bieber's collection is just the second EP by an individual act (as opposed to a multi-artist soundtrack) to top Billboard's pop album chart. The first was Alice In Chains' Jar Of Flies, which debuted at #1 in January 1994. Never Say Never: The Remixes is a somewhat misleading title. The EP contains four remixes, a live recording and two previously unreleased studio tracks. (I guess Never Say Never: The Grab-bag doesn't quite work.) It's the first remix album to hit #1 since Jennifer Lopez's J To Tha L-O! The Remixes scored nine years ago. Bieber's collection sold 161K copies this week, which is the fattest one-week sales total so far in 2011. But it won't hold that distinction for long. Adele's p21 is expected to debut at #1 next week with sales in the 225K range. (I'll have more on Adele later in the column.) Seven of the artists in the top 10 on this week's Billboard 200 performed at last week's Grammy Awards. Four of them also took home awards. Lady Antebellum, which won five a night-topping Grammys, vaults from #17 to #4 with Need You Now. That's the album's highest ranking in more than eight months. Bruno Mars, at #5; Eminem, at #6; and Rihanna, at #10, also both performed and took home Grammys. Below the top 10, Arcade Fire's The Suburbs vaults from #52 to #12, its highest ranking since August. The critically-hailed album was the surprise winner of Album of the Year. Esperanza Spalding's Chamber Music Society re-enters the chart at #34. This far surpasses the album's original peak of #107 last August. Spalding's 2008 album Esperanza debuts at #138, which is its first appearance on the chart. Spalding was the surprise Grammy winner for Best New Artist. Arcade Fire's jump looks impressive, but unless The Suburbs keeps climbing next week (which is unlikely), it will become the first Album of the Year winner in five years not to make the top 10 in the wake of the telecast. The last Album of the Year winner to fail to crack the top 10 post-Grammys was U2's How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, which re-entered the chart at #49 on Feb. 12, 2006. That was also its post-Grammy peak. (The album has been in release for 15 months at that point and was pretty much played out.) Here's how subsequent Album of the Year winners fared in the week after the telecast. Dixie Chicks' Taking The Long Way leaped from #72 to #8 on Feb. 18, 2007. Herbie Hancock's River: The Joni Letters vaulted from #159 to #5 on Feb. 17, 2008. Robert Plant/Alison Krauss' Raising Sand soared from #69 to #2 on Feb. 15, 2009. Taylor Swift's Fearless jumped from #13 to #7 on Feb. 7, 2010. Mumford & Sons' Sigh No More holds at #2 in the wake of the band's Grammy performance with Bob Dylan and the Avett Brothers. The album sold 133K copies this week, which is its highest weekly sales tally to date. (In fact, it's more than the album's next two highest weekly sales tallies combined.) The album has sold 948K copies. The Avett Brothers and Dylan also re-enter the chart this week: The Avett Brothers' I And Love And You re-enters the chart at #42, its highest ranking since its second week on the chart in October 2009. Sigh No More sold 80,000 digital copies this week, which puts it at #1 on the Digital Albums chart for the second straight week. More importantly, it pushes it past the 500K mark in cumulative digital sales. It's the ninth album to reach that plateau. . In addition to its robust ranking on The Billboard 200, Lady Antebellum's Need You Now logs its 30th week at #1 on Top Country Albums. This pushes it into 10th place for most weeks at #1 since the chart's inception in 1964. Among albums by duos or groups, it's second only to Dixie Chicks' Fly, which logged 36 weeks at #1. Both albums received Grammy nominations for Album of the Year. Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" has sold 957,000 digital copies in its first two weeks of release. Only one song has ever sold more copies in its first two weeks. Flo Rida's "Right Round" sold 1,096,0000 in its first two weeks in February 2009. I'll have all the details in Chart Watch: Songs, which we'll post later today. Three albums drop out of the top 10 this week. P!nk's Greatest Hits...So Far!!! drops #5 to #14. Jason Aldean's My Kinda Party drops from #9 to #16. Justin Bieber's My Worlds Acoustic drops from #10 to #18. Bright Eyes' The People's Key bows at #13. This is the fifth 20 album by alternative pop star Conor Oberst. Hillsong United's Aftermath bows at #17. This is the first top 20 album by the Australian "praise and worship" band. Glee, The Music: Season Two: Volume 4 drops from #24 to #39. It's the #1 soundtrack for the third straight week. Country Strong drops from #57 to #96. It's the #1 soundtrack to a theatrically-released feature for the sixth straight week. Albert King With Stevie Ray Vaughan, which was first released in 1999, enters the chart at #52. This is its first chart appearance. Both blues artists died in the early ‘90s. Ella Fitzgerald's Let's Fall In Love debuts at #80. The "First Lady Of Song" first made the pop album chart as a lead artist in 1956 with the classic Ella Fitzgerald Sings The Cole Porter Song Book. (She had previously charted with a pair of collabos with Bing Crosby and Peggy Lee.) Fitzgerald died in 1996. Adele's 2008 album 19 sold 13K copies this week, which enables it to jump from #68 to #50. It's #1 on the Catalog Albums chart. David Archuleta, who finished second on Season 7 of American Idol, was dropped by his label, Jive Records, after two studio albums and a Christmas album. His 2008 debut, David Archuleta has sold 765K copies. His 2010 follow-up, The Other Side Of Down, has sold 67K. Season 7 winner David Cook has yet to release the follow-up to his 2008 debut, David Cook (which has sold a healthy 1,319,000 copies). I think now we may know why he's taking his time. The pressure on artists to deliver every time or risk being dropped has probably never been greater. It's a very tough business for artists. Coming Attractions: Adele's 21 is expected to be next week's top new entry, with sales in the range of 225K. Adele's album has been #1 in the U.K. for the past four weeks, longer than any other album in 2011. It's the first album by a female artist to log four weeks at #1 in the U.K. since Susan Boyle's I Dreamed A Dream in December 2009. Also due next week: Jeff Beck's Rock'n'Roll Party and G. Love's Fixin' To Die.

59 42 Avett Brothers I And Love And You 15,311 305,870 Great increase...But why exactly? Do they have a radio hit of decent size? They weren't nominated for anything, but they were one of the performers at the Grammy Awards, so I'm sure that's why they saw an increase. |

She's in the Christian AC genre and she's sold more albums than some of the winners! to be fair shes only outsold lee... True Beauty (2007) #43 — 224,000 It's Christmas (2008) did not chart — 26,000 Freedom (2009) #83 — 132,000 very impressive for a 9th place finisher. the only places of the touring american idols to not have a success is 5th and 10th. every other placement in the top 10 has had a success. and madisa's third album comes out later this year |

im surprised an article took notice of archie's drop.
and Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" has sold 957,000 digital copies in its first two weeks of release. Only one song has ever sold more copies in its first two weeks. Flo Rida's "Right Round" sold 1,096,0000 in its first two weeks in February 2009. I'll have all the details in Chart Watch: Songs, which we'll post later today.
they really should justify that since gaga was short a couple days compared to normal
