Tim McGraw Scores Top Billboard 200 Debut, Adele Still No. 1
by Keith Caulfield, L.A. | February 01, 2012

Lamb of God, Kellie Pickler, Ingrid Michaelson All Start in Top 10

As is usually the case in January, few major albums are released in the first few weeks of the year. Now, as we get back to normal -- post-holidays -- we see an influx of seven new albums in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 chart. That's the most debuts within the top 10 since the May 21, 2011 chart, when eight new titles arrived in the region.

But before we get to the debuts, the chart is still crowned by Adele's "21" as it sits tight at No. 1 for an 18th non-consecutive week (116,000; up 22% according to Nielsen SoundScan). The set's sales gain is owed in part to how a deluxe version of the set was reissued at Target stores last week, and carried an advertised price of $13.99


Now -- time for the new entries. A whopping seven debuts dot the top 10, led by country superstar Tim McGraw. His "Emotional Traffic" drives in at No. 2 with 68,000 sold. McGraw's last studio effort, 2009's "Southern Voice," bowed at No. 2 with 137,000 sold.

"Emotional" is the singer's 14th top 10 album on the Billboard 200 and 13th No. 1 on the Country Albums chart. All of his studio sets have topped the Country tally, save for 2002's "Tim McGraw and the Dancehall Doctors," which debuted and peaked at No. 2.

Rock band Lamb of God's new "Resolution" debuts at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 (52,000) securing its third top 10 album. The act's last studio set, 2009's "Wrath," bowed at a career-high No. 2 with 68,000 sold.¨

The "2012 Grammy Nominees" compilation album enters at No. 4 with 52,000 (a teensy bit behind Lamb of God) -- marking the 11th top 10 for the long-running annual series. The franchise launched with the "1995 Grammy Nominees" set. Collectively, the albums (excluding its occasional Latin and rap-themed offshoots), have sold 7.7 million copies in the U.S. The last three sets have moved between 220,000 and 281,000 each -- making it safe to assume "2012" will ultimately shift about as many copies as well.

Singer/songwriter Ingrid Michaelson notches her best sales week and highest charting album ever as "Human Again" takes a bow at No. 5 with 40,000. Until this week, her best frame came when her last set, 2009's "Everybody," bowed and peaked at No. 18 with 23,000 sold. The new album's current single "Ghost" rises from No. 22 to No. 21 on the Triple A airplay chart this week (viewable at billboard.biz/charts).

Kellie Pickler's "100 Proof" gives the former "American Idol" contestant her third straight top 10 -- and her highest-charting album yet -- as her third release debuts at No. 7 with 27,000. Her first two albums, 2006's "Small Town Girl" and 2008's self-titled set, both debuted and peaked at No.


Seal's "Soul 2" album arrives at No. 8 with a little over 27,000 -- marking the singer's highest-charting effort since 2003's "Seal IV" debuted and peaked at No. 3. The new release is a sequel to his 2008 covers album, which has sold 547,000 and reached No. 13 on the tally.

Rounding out the top 10 is Christian singer Kari Jobe, who sees her sophomore release "Where I Find You" start at No. 10 with 25,000. Her self-titled 2009 debut topped out at No. 63 in early 2011, after initially debuting at No. 67 back on Feb. 28, 2009. On our Christian Albums chart, the new album debuts at No. 1. It follows the No. 3 peak of her eponymous debut.

Just outside the top 10, the all-star charity compilation "Chimes of Freedom: The Songs of Bob Dylan," debuts in two different slots on the list this week. The 73-track (76 online) version debuts at No. 11 with 22,000 while the Starbucks-exclusive 31-track edition starts at No. 39 with 10,000. Sales of the albums and the individual song downloads benefit Amnesty International.

As for the top 10's two other holdovers from last week: "Kidz Bop 21" falls 2-6 (33,000; down 43%) and Drake's "Take Care" slides 4-9 (26,000; down 9%).

Over on the Digital Songs chart, we have a new No. 1, as Kelly Clarkson's "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" zooms from No. 3 to the top with 225,000 downloads sold (up 29%). On the Mainstream Top 40 airplay chart (known as Pop Songs on Billboard.com) the track rises 24-20 in its third week on the list.

Last week's No. 1, David Guetta's "Turn Me On" (featuring Nicki Minaj), falls to No. 3 with 162,000 (down 18%). The tune could rebound in the coming week, as its official music video premiered on Jan. 31.

Adele's "Set Fire to the Rain" rests at No. 2 for another week (167,000; down 10%) while Tyga's "Rack City" also holds at No. 4 (142,000; down 4%). Snoop Dogg & Wiz Khalifa's "Young, Wild & Free" rises three spots to No. 5 (128,000; down 4%), Flo Rida's "Good Feeling" falls a slot to No. 6 (121,000; down 15%) and Rihanna's "We Found Love" (featuring Calvin Harris) falls a rung to No. 7 (114,000; down 18%).

LMFAO's resilient "Sexy and I Know It" moves 7-8 (113,000; down 16%), Jessie J's "Domino" is steady at No. 9 (111,000; down 9%) and Pitbull's "International Love" (featuring Chris Brown) jumps 17-10 with 108,000 (up 21%).



Overall album sales in this past chart week (ending Jan. 29) totaled 5.39 million units, up 7% compared to the sum last week (5.06 million) and up 2% compared to the comparable sales week of 2011 (5.31 million). Year to date album sales stand at 21.34 million, up 2% compared to the same total at this point last year (20.84 million).

Digital track sales this past week totaled 25.98 million downloads, down 7% compared to last week (27.89 million) and up 5% stacked next to the comparable week of 2011 (24.73 million). Year to date track sales are at 115.19 million, up 6% compared to the same total at this point last year (108.33 million).

Next week's Billboard 200 competes with the same week in 2011 when: Nicki Minaj's "Pink Friday" ascended from No. 3 to No. 1, in its 11th week on the chart, selling 45,000 (up 18%). Red's "Until We Have Faces" bowed at No. 2 with 43,000 and Ricky Martin's "Musica + Alma + Sexo" started at No. 3 with 32,000.

Interesting to note, 21 will outsell Fearless in about 2-3 weeks, which will make it the best selling album released since 2005

Week Ending Jan. 29, 2012. Albums: The Idol “Loser” Who Won
By Paul Grein | Chart Watch – 6 minutes ago

music.yahoo.com/blogs/chart-watch/week-ending-jan-29-2012-albums-idol-loser-161000657.html

Hundreds of contestants have walked across the American Idol stage, but only five have amassed three or more top 10 albums on The Billboard 200. Of these five, Kellie Pickler holds a unique distinction. She finished further back in the pack (sixth place in Season 5) than any other Idol contestant who has scored three or more top 10 albums. (Pickler lands her third top 10 album this week as her third album, 100 Proof, debuts at #7.)

Kelly Clarkson, the Season 1 winner, and Clay Aiken, who finished second in Season 2, have each notched five top 10 albums. Two other artists have amassed three top 10 albums: Carrie Underwood, the Season 4 winner; and Chris Daughtry, who finished fourth in Season 5.

You may have noticed that both Pickler and Daughtry competed in Season 5. Each of the top three contestants from that season, Taylor Hicks, Katharine McPhee and Elliott Yamin, notched just one top 10 album (though McPhee be on the brink of success in another medium: She is featured on the upcoming NBC series Smash.)

Tallying up an artist's number of top 10 albums is an admittedly rough index to popularity, but it suggests that the hottest finale in Season 5 would have been between Daughtry and Pickler.

Why has Pickler endured when most Idol contestants who finished so far back in the pack have fallen away? For one thing, she's country. Country audiences are traditionally more loyal to their favorites than pop audiences. Also, people like her. Talent and personality are the keys to success in the music business (and in life, I guess).

Photo by Brian To/FilmMagicPickler isn't the only performer who finished sixth on Idol to have substantial post-show success. Constantine Maroulis, who finished sixth in Season 4, starred in the Broadway hit Rock Of Ages. He received a Tony nomination in 2009 for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Musical. He has lined up his next Broadway role in a revival of the musical Jekyll & Hyde.

Here are the other performers who finished sixth in each season of Idol: Christina Christian, Carmine Rasmusen, John Stevens (isn't he on the Supreme Court?), Phil Stacey, Carly Smithson, Anoop Desai, Siobhan Magnus and Casey Abrams. (While Yahoo!'s resident Idol expert Lyndsey Parker no doubt remembers what they sang in each round, most of us can only vaguely recall most of them.

100 Proof is Pickler's highest-charting album. Small Town Girl and Kellie Pickler both reached #9.

Adele's 21 logs its 18th week at #1. That's the longest run at #1 for a regular studio album (I'm excluding soundtracks) since Garth Brooks' third album Ropin' The Wind lassoed 18 weeks on top in 1991-1992. 21 sold 116K copies this week. This is the 34th time that its weekly sales have topped 100K.

Tim McGraw's Emotional Traffic debuts at #2. This is McGraw's 14th top 10 album, which is one of the three highest totals ever for a country artist. George Strait has had 17 top 10 albums. Garth Brooks has also had 14. Strait and Brooks have been at it longer, however. Brooks landed his first top 10 album, No Fences, in May 1991 (the week that Nielsen SoundScan began tracking sales for Billboard, which gave country albums their full due for the first time.) Strait landed his first top 10 album, the Pure Country soundtrack, in November 1992. McGraw didn't land his first, Not A Moment Too Soon, until April 1994.

2012 Grammy Nominees debuts at #4. It's the 11th album in this long-running series to make the top 10. In the 56-year history of The Billboard 200, only three series have accounted for more 10 albums: Now (45 volumes), Kidz Bop Kids (14 volumes) and Glee (13 volumes).

Ingrid Michaelson's Human Again debuts at #5. The album sold 33K digital copies (out of 40K total.) This puts it at #1 on Top Digital Albums. It's the first time that Adele's album hasn't topped that chart in five weeks.

Seal's second album of R&B classics, Soul 2, bows at #8. The first, Soul, reached #13 in 2008. (Rod Stewart has yet to release a sequel to his similar 2009 album, Soulbook.)

Kelly Clarkson's "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You) jumps from #3 to #1 on Hot Digital Songs. "International Love" by Pitbull featuring Chris Brown jumps from #17 to #10. How will they fare on the Hot 100? You'll find out later today when we post Chart Watch: Songs.

Here's the low-down on this week's top 10 albums.

1. Adele, 21, 116,000. The album logs its 18th week at #1. This is its 49th week in the top 10. Four songs from the album are listed on Hot Digital Songs, topped by "Set Fire To The Rain," which holds at #2.

2. Tim McGraw, Emotional Traffic, 68,000. This new entry is McGraw's 14th top 10 album. In addition, it's #1 on Top Country Albums. It's McGraw's 13th #1 on that chart. Two songs from the album are listed on Hot Digital Songs. "Better Than I Used To Be" vaults from #176 to #68. "Felt Good On My Lips" re-enters at #193.

3. Lamb Of God, Resolution, 52,000. This new entry is the third top 10 album for the heavy metal band. Sacrament hit #8 in 2006. Wrath hit #2 in 2009.

4. Various Artists, 2012 Grammy Nominees, 52,000. This new entry is the 11th entry in this long-running series to make the top 10.

5. Ingrid Michaelson, Human Again, 40,000. This new entry is Michaelson's first top 10 album. She first cracked the chart in 2007 with Girls and Boys. "Fire" enters Hot Digital Songs at #76.

6. Kidz Bop Kids, Kidz Bop 21, 33,000. The album drops from #2 to #6 in its second week.

7. Kellie Pickler, 100 Proof, 27,000. This new entry is Pickler's third consecutive top 10 album. "Tough" enters Hot Digital Songs at #144.

8. Seal, Soul II, 27,000. This new entry is Seal's second top 10 album. It follows Seal IV, which hit #3 in 2003.

9. Drake, Take Care, 26,000. The former #1 album drops from #4 to #9 in its 11th week. It has been in the top 10 the entire time. Four songs from the album are listed on Hot Digital Songs, topped by "Take Care" (featuring Rihanna), which jumps from #32 to #26.

10. Kari Jobe's Where I Find You, 25,000. This new entry is Jobe's first top 10 album. The female Contemporary Christian artist first charted in 2009.

Seven albums drop out of the top 10 this week. The Black Keys' El Camino drops from #3 to #12, Rihanna's Talk That Talk drops from #5 to #16, Young Jeezy's TM:103 Hustlerz Ambition drops from #6 to #17, James Fortune & FIYA's Identity dives from #7 to #29, Toby Keith's Clancy's Tavern dives from #8 to #32, Coldplay's Mylo Xyloto drops from #9 to #24, and Nickelback's Here And Now drops from #10 to #22.

Chimes of Freedom: The Songs of Bob Dylan Honoring 50 Years of Amnesty International enters The Billboard 200 at #11. The four-disk set includes contributions by everyone from folk legend Pete Seeger, 92, to pop star Miley Cyrus, 19. It's one of the most expansive collections ever to reach the top 20. Others include Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band's Live/1975-85 (five disks), which hit #1 in 1986, and Vince Gill's These Days (four disks), which hit #17 in 2006. This isn't the first time that a massive collection of Dylan songs has scaled the charts. In January 1986, Dylan's own five-disk set, Biograph, reached the top 40.

A two-disk version of Chimes Of Freedom, which is available at Starbucks, debuts at #39. If sales for the two versions had been combined, the album would have debuted at #7 this week.

The song "Chimes Of Freedom" first appeared on Dylan's 1964 album, Another Side Of Bob Dylan.

Several previous chart albums have raised funds for the human rights organization Amnesty International. The Secret Policeman's Ball reached #106 in 1981. A sequel, The Secret Policeman's Other Ball, hit #29 in 1982. Rock For Amnesty hit #121 in 1987.

Celtic Woman's Believe bows at #13. It's the group's third album to crack the top 15…Lacuna Coil's Dark Adrenaline debuts at #15. The metal band first charted in 2004...Adele's 2008 debut album 19 drops from #15 to #19. It's #1 on Top Catalog Albums for the 33rd week.

The Joyful Noise soundtrack drops from #12 to #33 in its third week. It's #1 on Top Soundtracks for the third week…Wow Gospel 2012 bows at #41. The series launched in 1998 (the same year the Now series launched). The highest-charting installment is Wow Gospel 2006, which reached #20.

Zac Brown Band's The Foundation this week becomes the fourth album in country music history to sell 500K or more digital copies. It follows Taylor Swift's Fearless (794K digital copies) and Speak Now (694K) and Lady Antebellum's Need You Now (518K). Counting all genres, The Foundation is the 23rd album to sell 500K or more digital copies. Five acts have reached that plateau with two albums: Swift, Adele, Lady Gaga, Coldplay and Kanye West.

The Grey was #1 at the box-office over the weekend. The soundtrack, featuring a score by Marc Streitenfeld, will be released on Feb. 14.

Adele's Live At The Royal Albert Hall is #1 on Top Music Videos for the ninth straight week. The DVD sold 17K copies, bringing its total to 528K.

Coming Attractions: Lana Del Rey's Born To Die is expected to be next week's top new entry. Also due: Gotye's Making Mirrors and Leonard Cohen's Old Ideas.

Shameless Grammy Plug I: The Grammys' decision to cut or consolidate 31 categories this year has triggered growing controversy. Critics have charged that the Grammys were insensitive to the needs of artists who populate the less prominent categories, to whom a nomination or award can make a meaningful difference in their careers (in getting publicity and better concert bookings). The Rev. Jesse Jackson has called for a meeting with Neil Portnow, the President and CEO of the Recording Academy. The two have agreed to meet before the Grammys are presented on Feb. 12. Did the Grammys cut or gut? I look at this issue in an And The Winner is blog that went up Monday. If you missed it, here's a link.

Shameless Grammy Plug II: Nicki Minaj has seemed to be the front-runner to win the Grammy for Best New Artist since her debut album, Pink Friday, entered The Billboard 200 at #2 in November 2010. But will Minaj win the award? It may come down to whether the voters' attraction to female solo artists in the New Artist category (females have won in 13 of the last 20 years) outweighs their inclination not to vote for rap artists in this and other "Big Four" categories. I look at the Grammys' complicated relationship to rap in an And The Winner Is blog that went up late last week. If you missed it, here's a link.

Interesting to note, 21 will outsell Fearless in about 2-3 weeks, which will make it the best selling album released since 2005

All The Right Reasons -- 7,567,104 -- and Some Hearts -- 7,164,184 -- were released in 2005.

Unless by "since 2005" you mean after 2005.

[areyoureadytojump]

Wait, I'm not sure then. Duets 1 re-enters due to sale pricing.

Yes I meant after 2005

[Rodze]

It's not like 21 won't have outsold those two albums by the end of year, anyway. =P

Not only that, I'm pretty sure I heard a radio ad last week advertising the airing of his Duets II special on PBS featuring all the videos he filmed making it.

[HolidayGuy]

I overlooked Pat Benatar's GH on the catalog chart- climbing toward 800K- not bad. And that 10 Great Songs has topped 100K.

Modified BUT I'd say it's even more impressive that it has been on for 56 consecutive weeks, a couple years after it ran its course. AND spending a good portion of it in the top 20/30.

[HolidayGuy]

^Of course- that's the power of 21. :)

[ListenToItTwice]

^Van Halen may knock her out of #1 in 2 weeks.

Then Bruce Sprinsgteen.

[Honeymoon]

Isn't another NOW! installment out next week? Those usually do above 100k and might give Adele a run for her money before she gets the Grammy's bump...

[Enigma.]

I'd say 200k. Would normally say more but 6.2 million people have it already.
