www.billboard.com/articles/news/5657842/luke-bryans-crash-my-party-debuts-at-no-1-on-billboard-200Luke Bryan's 'Crash My Party' Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard 200 By Keith Caulfield | August 20, 2013 9:07 PM EDT It's the biggest bow by a male country singer in nearly nine years and 2013's third highest overall. It's official: Luke Bryan's "Crash My Party" has debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart with the third-largest sales week of the year. The country star's new album sold just under 528,000 copies in the week ending Sunday, Aug. 18. It's Bryan's second No. 1, following the compilation "Spring Break… Here to Party," which also opened atop the list earlier this year. Only the debuts of Justin Timberlake's "The 20/20 Experience" (968,000) and Jay Z's "Magna Carta… Holy Grail" (slightly over 528,000) have captured bigger weeks than "Crash" this year. The rest of the new Billboard 200 chart's top 10 will be revealed on Wednesday, Aug. 21. More impressively, "Crash's" bow is the biggest for an album by a male country artist in nearly nine years. The last set by a country gent to post a bigger frame was Tim McGraw's "Live Like You Were Dying," which sold 766,000 in its first week (Nov. 2004). Further, since 2008, only two country artists have sold more than a half-million copies of an album in a single week: Bryan and Taylor Swift. The latter has seen half-million (or more) bows with each of her last three studio albums. "Red" started with 1.21 million last year, while 2010's "Speak Now" bowed with 1.05 million and 2008's "Fearless" launched with 592,000. To promote "Crash My Party" last week, Bryan appeared on E!'s "Chelsea Lately" and performed on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" (both on the set's release date, Aug. 13). He also appeared on NBC's "Today" twice -- on Aug. 15 and Aug. 16. The new album's title track spent three weeks atop the Country Airplay chart in July. The set's latest single, "That's My Kind of Night," rises 20-16 on Country Airplay this week.

Very impressed with Luke Bryan's first week sales! Huge jump from the sales of his last studio release Tailgates & Tanlines back in August 2011 (145,000 copies).

www.billboard.com/articles/news/5659205/luke-bryan-nets-no-1-album-katy-perrys-roar-tops-digital-songsLuke Bryan Nets No. 1 Album, Katy Perry's 'Roar' Tops Digital Songs By Keith Caulfield, L.A. | August 21, 2013 11:00 AM EDT K. Michelle debuts at No. 2, while "Roar" and Lady Gaga's "Applause" make their Digital Songs bows. As reported yesterday, country star Luke Bryan nabs his second No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 with "Crash My Party." The album bows atop the list with nearly 528,000 sold in the week ending Sunday, Aug. 18, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
"Crash My Party" follows his previous chart-topper, "Spring Break . . . Here to Party," which opened at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 dated March 23.
The new album logs the third-largest sales week of 2013, surpassed only by the debuts of Justin Timberlake's "The 20/20 Experience" (968,000) and Jay Z's "Magna Carta . . . Holy Grail" (slightly more than 528,000).
"Crash My Party" also claims the largest week for an album by a male country artist since 2004. Tim McGraw was the last male country artist to sell more copies in a week, when his "Live Like You Were Dying" bowed with 766,000 in November 2004.
Bryan is miles ahead of the No. 2 album this week, K. Michelle's "Rebellious Soul." The set opens in the runner-up slot with 72,000 and also lands at No. 1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and Top R&B Albums charts.
The artist (familiar to fans of VH1's "Love and Hip-Hop: Atlanta") nets the highest debut on the Billboard 200 for a female R&B singer's first album since March 2011. That month, Marsha Ambrosius' "Late Nights & Early Mornings" also debuted at No. 2. (Ambrosius is formerly of the duo Floetry, which charted three albums before Ambrosius went solo.)
After we leave the top two rungs on the Billboard 200, the rest of the top 10 is fairly uneventful. The "Now 47" album slips 2-3 (52,000; down 27%), and Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" descends 3-4 (48,000; down 26%). Last week's No. 1, the Civil Wars' self-titled album, falls to No. 5 with 39,000 (down 66%).
Jay Z's "Magna Carta . . . Holy Grail" falls 4-6 (37,000; down 23%), the "Teen Beach Movie" soundtrack moves 6-7 (33,000; down 13%), and Florida Georgia Line's "Here's to the Good Times" rises 10-8 (31,000; up 19%). Imagine Dragons' "Night Visions" (7-9 with 27,000; down 26%) and Five Finger Death Punch's "The Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side of Hell" (8-10 with 22,000; down 38%) close out the top 10.
Over on the Digital Songs chart, Katy Perry's "Roar" bows at No. 1 with a whopping 557,000 downloads. The song finished the week with a larger-than-expected sales sum. On Sunday, Aug. 18, forecasters had suggested the song was on course to sell 525,000-550,000 downloads by the close of that week's business (Aug. 18). That projection was increased from an original forecast of 400,000, made on the song’s release date, Aug. 12.
The debut for “Roar” marks the sixth-largest sales week for a digital song ever, Perry's own best sales week and the biggest for her label, Capitol Records.
The only other larger weeks were logged on the chart by Flo Rida's "Right Round" (a debut with 636,000 in 2009), Ke$ha's "TiK ToK" (610,000; 2009), Bruno Mars' "Grenade" (559,000; 2010) and Taylor Swift's "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" (a debut with 623,000; 2012) and "I Knew You Were Trouble" (582,000; 2012).
But wait, there's more: "Roar" also logs the third-biggest debut for a digital song. Only "Right Round" (636,000) and "We Are Never . . ." (623,000) started with bigger numbers.
"Roar" is the lead single from Perry's "Prism" album, which is due for release on Oct. 22.
A total of three debuts arrive in the top 10 of the Digital Songs chart this week, including Perry's "Roar." And all three of them start in the top five—the first time that's happened since last October. (On the Digital Songs chart dated Oct. 20, 2012, One Direction, Swift and Adele bowed at Nos. 1-3, respectively, with "Live While We're Young," "Red" and "Skyfall.")
Last week's No. 1 Digital Song, Thicke's "Blurred Lines" (featuring. T.I. and Pharrell), falls to No. 2 with 291,000 (down 16%).
At No. 3 is the second debut of the week: Lady Gaga arrives with "Applause." It sold 218,000 downloads in its opening frame and marks her 13th top 10 hit on the Digital Songs chart. It's her best sales week since "The Edge of Glory" debuted with 266,000 downloads at No. 2 on the May 28, 2011, chart.
"Applause" is the first single from Gaga's "ARTPOP" album, which arrives Nov. 11.
A step below Gaga is Jay Z's "Holy Grail," featuring Timberlake, which slips two rungs to No. 4 with 178,000 (though it’s up by 7%). Bryan captures the third top 10 debut, as his "That's My Kind of Night" enters at No. 5 with 164,000. It's the new radio-promoted single from his album "Crash My Party."
Miley Cyrus' "We Can't Stop" falls 3-6 (148,000; down 6%) while Avicii's "Wake Me Up!" is pushed backwards 6-7 despite a 22% gain to 138,000 downloads.
Imagine Dragons' "Radioactive" tumbles 4-8 (121,000; down 9%) while Lana Del Rey & Cedric Gervais' "Summertime Sadness" is steady at No. 9 (117,000; up 15%). Lorde's No. 1 Alternative airplay hit "Royals" surges into the top 10 (15-10) with 107,000 (up 39%).
Overall album sales in this past chart week (ending Aug. 18) totaled 5.1 million units, up 8% compared with the sum last week (4.7 million) and down 3% compared with the comparable sales week of 2012 (5.3 million). Year-to-date album sales stand at 176.1 million, down 6% compared with the same total at this point last year (187.5 million).
Digital track sales this past week totaled 23.1 million downloads, up 4% compared with last week (22.1 million) and down 7% stacked next to the comparable week of 2012 (24.8 million). Year-to-date track sales are at 843.3 million, down 3% compared with the same total at this point last year (870.2 million).
Next week's Billboard 200 competes with the same week in 2012 when: Trey Songz's "Chapter V" bowed at No. 1 with 135,000 while the previous week's leader, 2 Chainz's "Based On a T.R.U. Story," slipped to No. 2 with 48,000.

music.yahoo.com/blogs/chart-watch/week-ending-aug-18-2013-albums-luke-bryan-012350972.htmlWeek Ending Aug. 18, 2013. Albums: Luke Bryan’s Big “Party” By Paul Grein | Chart Watch Who’s the hottest male star in country music? I think you’d have to go with Luke Bryan, whose Crash My Party sold an impressive 528K copies in its first week. That’s the highest tally for an album by a male country artist in nearly nine years (since Tim McGraw’s Live Like You Were Dying moved 766K copies in its first week in August 2004). Bryan’s fast start is the third-highest one-week tally of 2013 (regardless of genre), trailing only Justin Timberlake’s The 20/20 Experience (968K in March) and Jay Z’s Magna Carta…Holy Grail (slightly over 528K in July). Crash My Party enters The Billboard 200 at #1, which makes Bryan the first artist to reach #1 with two different albums in 2013. Bryan topped the chart in March with Spring Break…Here To Party, a compilation drawn from his summer-themed EPs. Bryan is the first country artist to put two albums at #1 in a calendar year since Kenny Chesney scored in 2005. Just two other country artists have achieved this feat since 1991, when Nielsen SoundScan began tracking sales for Billboard: Garth Brooks (1992 and 1998) and LeAnn Rimes (1997). Bryan is one of only two country artists in the last five years who has sold 500K or more copies of an album in one week. The other is Taylor Swift, who has done it three times. Crash My Party sold more copies this week than Spring Break…Here To Party has sold has in its entire 24-week run (490K). Bryan’s 2011 album Tailgates & Tanlines took 18 weeks to sell this many copies. Tailgates & Tanlines has never ranked lower than #65. (That’s why, even though it’s more than two years old, it’s still considered a current album and isn’t listed on Top Catalog Albums.) Though it peaked at #2, Tailgates has outsold most #1 albums of recent years. Current sales tally: 2,102,000. Crash My Party is Bryan’s fourth studio album. Each has climbed higher on The Billboard 200 than its predecessor. I’ll Stay Me reached #24 in 2007. Doin My Thing hit #6 in 2009. As noted, Tailgates & Tanlines reached #2 in 2011. Crash My Party sold 222K digital copies, which puts it at #1 on Top Digital Albums. Only one other country artist has ever topped 200K in digital sales in one week. Of course it’s Taylor Swift, who sold 278K digital copies of Speak Now and 465K digital copies of her crossover-minded Red. Crash My Party also enters Top Country Albums at #1, displacing Florida Georgia Line’s eight-week leader Here’s To The Good Times. This is Bryan’s third country #1 in a row. It follows Tailgates & Tanlines (four weeks on top) and Spring Break…Here To Party (two weeks on top). (Note that all three of these albums have party-themed titles. The dude likes to party.) Bryan’s awards profile has yet to match his record sales. He has yet to win a CMA Award, for example. Last year, he was nominated for Male Vocalist of the Year for the first time (but lost to “three-peater” Blake Shelton). Perhaps this will be Bryan’s year. We’ll soon see: The 47th annual CMA Awards will be presented on Nov. 6. K. Michelle’s debut album, Rebellious Soul, debuts at #2. The 31-year old R&B artist is a reality star on VH1’s Love & Hip Hop franchise. K. Michelle is short for Kimberly Michelle Pate. Michelle’s “V.S.O.P.” is in the top 50 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. It’s her sixth song to crack the R&B chart (as yet, none have crossed over to the Hot 100). She first cracked the R&B chart in June 2009 with “Self Made (featuring Gucci Mane). She charted again that October with “Fakin’ It” (featuring Missy Elliott). “V.S.O.P.” samples old-school R&B songs by Debra Laws and the Chi-Lites. The Teen Beach Movie soundtrack dips from #6 to #7. It’s the first soundtrack from a made-for-TV movie to spend five or more weeks in the top 10 since Camp Rock held tight for 10 weeks in 2008. Just two other soundtracks to made-for-TV movies have logged five or more weeks in the top 10: High School Musical (25 weeks in 2006) and High School Musical 2 (16 weeks in 2007). These were all Disney Channel productions. Teen Beach Movie has sold 200K copies, which makes it the best-selling TV soundtrack (made-for-TV movie or series) so far this year. It pulls ahead of The Music Of Nashville. Three soundtracks to theatrically-released movies rank ahead of Teen Beach Movie: Pitch Perfect, Les Miserables and The Great Gatsby. Teen Beach Movie is #1 on Top Soundtracks for the fifth week. It’s the first TV soundtrack to top this chart for five or more weeks since Victorious: Music From The Hit TV Show logged seven weeks on top in 2011. Katy Perry’s “Roar” enters Hot Digital Songs at #1, with first-week sales of 557K. That’s the third highest first-week total in digital history, trailing only Flo Rida’s “Right Round” (636K in February 2009) and Taylor Swift’s “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” (623K in August 2012). “Blurred Lines” by Robin Thicke featuring T.I. + Pharrell dips from #1 to #2 on Hot Digital Songs, with sales of 291K range. Lady Gaga’s “Applause” debuts at #3 (218K). Expect a very tight race for #1 on the Hot 100 between Perry and Thicke. (Thicke is still ahead in radio airplay and streaming, which are the chart’s other two components.) You’ll find out who prevails later today when we post Chart Watch: Songs. Here’s the low-down on this week’s top 10 albums. The Top Five: Luke Bryan’s Crash My Party debuts at #1 (528K). It’s his fourth top 10 album…K. Michelle’s Rebellious Soul debuts at #2 (72K). It’s her first top 10 album…Now 47 dips from #2 to #3 in its second week (52K)…Robin Thicke’s Blurred Lines dips from #3 to #4 in its third week (48K). It has been in the top five the entire time...The Civil Wars’ The Civil Wars drops from #1 to #5 in its second week (39K). The Second Five: Jay Z’s Magna Carta…Holy Grail drops from #4 to #6 in its sixth week (37K). It has been in the top 10 the entire time…The Teen Beach Movie soundtrack dips from #6 to #7 in its fifth week (33K). It has been in the top 10 the entire time… Florida Georgia Line’s Here’s To The Good Times rebounds from #10 to #8 in its 37th week (31K). This is its 11th week in the top 10…Imagine Dragons’ Night Visions drops from #7 to #9 in its 50th week (27K). This is its 18th week in the top 10…Five Finger Death Punch’s The Wrong Side Of Heaven & The Righteous Side Of Hell: Volume 1 drops from #8 to #10 in its third week (22K). It has been in the top 10 the entire time. Two albums drop out of the top 10 this week. Asking Alexandria’s From Death To Destiny drops from #5 to #32. Tye Tribbett’s Greater Than drops from #9 to #27. Parachute’s third album, Overnight, debuts at #15. This is the group’s second album in a row to make the top 20. The Way It Was reached #19 in 2011… Washed Out’s second studio album, Paracosm, debuts at #21. Within and Without reached #26 in 2011…Hoodie Allen’s third EP, Americoustic, debuts at #28. This is a let-down: All American reached #10 in 2012. Lorde’s The Love Club jumps from #31 to #23 in its 10th week. The EP contains the fast-rising single “Royals.”…Pitch Perfect holds at #24 in its 43rd week. It’s the highest-ranking soundtrack from a theatrically-released movie for the 25rd week. Bruno Mars’ Doo-Wops & Hooligans drops from #63 to #69 in its 148th week. The album returns to #1 on Top Catalog Albums. This is its sixth week on top. That puts Doo-Wops in a tie with Bob Marley & the Wailers’ 1984 compilation Legend for the most weeks at #1 on the catalog chart in 2013. Glen Campbell’s See You There debuts at #89. The country and pop legend first charted in December 1967 with Gentle On My Mind. Emeli Sade’s Our Version Of Events drops from #138 to #146 in its 38th chart week. The album has climbed as high as #28. It logged 10 weeks at #1 on The U.K.’s Official Albums Chart. That’s the second longest run at #1 in the 2010s, trailing only Adele’s 21 (23 weeks on top in the U.K.). The album’s resurgence in the U.S. is due to PBS’ airings of a Live At The Royal Albert Hall concert video (which will be released commercially on Oct. 8). (Adele’s video of the same name has sold 1,097,000 copies.) Richard and Adam’s The Impossible Dream logs its third week at #1 on the U.K.’s Official Albums Chart. The classical-singing brothers from North Wales finished third on Season 7 of Britain’s Got Talent. Richard and Adam Johnson have a long way to go to catch Richard and Karen Carpenter as the sibling duo with the longest-running #1 album in the history of the U.K. chart. Carpenters’ The Singles 1969-1973 spent 17 weeks at #1 in 1974. Carrie Underwood’s Blown Away Tour: Live enters Top Music Videos at #1. It’s the first video by a core country artist to reach #1 since Taylor Swift’s Journey To Fearless spent two weeks on top in October 2011. Underwood’s Blown Away album spent two weeks at #1 on The Billboard 200 and seven weeks at #1 on Top Country Albums. Coming Attractions: John Mayer’s Paradise Valley is expected to seriously challenge Luke Bryan for #1 next week. Also due: Jimmy Buffett’s Songs From St. Somewhere, Earl Sweatshirt’s Doris, TGT’s Three Kings, A$AP Ferg’s Trap Lord, Tedeschi Trucks Band’s Made Up Mind, Ben Rector’s The Walking In Between, Blue October’s Sway, The Mortal Instruments soundtrack and Woe Is Me’s American Dream EP.

#61. Kanye West - Yeezus - 6,000 (510,000)
Is this album over or not? Seems that a proper pop hit is out of question.

www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/5659870/katy-perry-and-luke-bryan-both-have-a-half-million-reasons-toKaty Perry and Luke Bryan Both Have a Half-Million Reasons to Smile By Keith Caulfield, Los Angeles | August 21, 2013 We have half-million sellers atop both the Billboard 200 and Digital Songs charts for only the second time This week, for only the second time in history, an album and a digital song both simultaneously sell more than a half-million copies in a single week. On the Billboard 200 albums chart, Luke Bryan's "Crash My Party" debuts at No. 1 with 528,000 according to Nielsen SoundScan. While over on the Digital Songs chart, Katy Perry's "Roar" bows at No. 1 with 557,000 downloads. The only other time that a download song and an album have sold each 500,000 in the same frame was over the Christmas week of 2009. In the sales week that ended Dec. 27, 2009, Ke$ha's "TiK Tok" sold 610,000 downloads, while Susan Boyle's album "I Dreamed a Dream" sold 510,000 copies. For Bryan, as reported yesterday, this marks his second No. 1 album -- and second leader this year. "Crash My Party" follows his previous chart-topper, "Spring Break… Here to Party," which opened at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 dated March 23. "Crash My Party" logs the third-largest sales week of 2013, surpassed by only the debuts of Justin Timberlake's "The 20/20 Experience" (968,000) and Jay Z's "Magna Carta… Holy Grail" (slightly over 528,000). "Crash My Party" also claims the largest week for an album by a male country artist since 2004. Tim McGraw was the last male country artist to sell more copies in a week -- when his "Live Like You Were Dying" bowed with 766,000 in November of 2004. As for Perry's "Roar," the song finished the week with a larger than expected sales sum. On Sunday, Aug. 18, forecasters had suggested the song was on course to sell between 525,000 to 550,000 downloads by the close of that week's business (on Aug. 18). That projection itself was increased from "Roar's" original forecast of 400,000 -- made on its release date, Aug. 12. "Roar's" debut marks the sixth-largest sales week for a digital song ever, Perry's own best week ever, and the biggest for her label, Capitol Records. The only other larger weeks were logged by Flo Rida's "Right Round" (a debut with 636,000; 2009), Ke$ha's "TiK ToK" (610,000; 2009), Bruno Mars' "Grenade" (559,000; 2010), Taylor Swift's "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" (debut with 623,000; 2012) and "I Knew You Were Trouble" (582,000; 2012). But wait, there's more! "Roar" also logs the third-biggest debut for a digital song. Only "Right Round" (636,000) and "We Are Never…" (623,000) started larger. "Roar" is the lead single from Perry's "Prism" album, which is due for release on Oct. 22.

AND www.billboard.com/articles/columns/the-juice/5665528/kendrick-lamars-good-kid-maad-city-passes-1-million-sales-markKendrick Lamar's 'good kid, m.A.A.d city' Passes 1 Million Sales Mark By Rauly Ramirez, N.Y. | August 21, 2013 Kendrick Lamar's critically-acclaimed "good kid, m.A.A.d city" crosses the million copies sold mark thanks to the 9,000 units it moved this week, according to Nielsen SoundScan. It has sold a total of 1,002,000 to date. The album debuted at No. 1 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums (and at No. 2 on the Billboard 200) on the Nov. 10, 2012 charts, with 241,000 copies sold in its first week. It marked the second-highest opening for an R&B/Hip-Hop album in 2012 – only Nicki Minaj's "Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded" bowed with a larger sum: 253,000 in April. By year's end, "good kid, m.A.A.d city" had already shifted 500,000. Kendrick Lamar's impressive opening was fueled by the success of lead single "Swimming Pools (Drank)" which was at No. 11 on the Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop airplay chart the week of the album's debut, but went on to spend nine consecutive weeks at the top. Follow-up singles "Poetic Justice," featuring Drake, and "Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe" each peaked at No. 2 on the list and all three records went top 10 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. "good kid, m.A.A.d city" million-selling news comes on the heels of an already newsworthy week for Kendrick Lamar. His provocative verse on Big Sean's "Control" set the R&B/hip-hop world ablaze last week. Meanwhile, gig-tracking site Songkick clocked the Compton rapper at over 46 hours atop summer festival stages, the most performance time by any artist. |

www.billboard.com/biz/articles/news/5672487/chart-moves-washed-out-valerie-june-debut-on-billboard-200-wild-feathersChart Moves: Washed Out, Valerie June Debut on Billboard 200, Wild Feathers Fly In at No. 1 on Heatseekers By Keith Caulfield, Los Angeles | August 23, 2013 9:15 AM EDT This week on the Billboard 200 albums chart, Luke Bryan charged in at No. 1, selling an impressive 528,000 copies of his latest album, "Crash My Party." It marked the second chart-topper for the country star, who logged a No. 1 earlier this year with "Spring Break… Here to Party." Outside the top 10 on the Billboard 200 there were a number of movers and shakers. Let's take a look at some of them… -- Washed Out, "Paracosm" (No. 21): The one-man act (Ernest Greene), earns its second top 40 set and highest charting effort with its second full-length album (13,000; a debut at No. 21). A robust 3,000 copies of the set's first week were vinyl LPs, which enables the title's No. 1 debut on the Vinyl Albums chart. -- Valerie June, "Pushin' Against a Stone" (No. 41): This is the major-label debut for singer-songwriter June, who has previously self-released three "bedroom recordings," as she calls them. The new album, which bows at No. 41, was funded by a 2010 Kickstarter campaign that generated $15,000. -- Yellowcard, "Ocean Avenue Acoustic" (No. 53): The acoustic redux of the band's best selling album starts with 7,000 copies sold at No. 53 -- with nearly 4,000 coming from downloads. The original album, released on July 22, 2003, eventually peaked at No. 23 the following year, and has sold 1.8 million copies. -- Kid Rock, "Rebel Soul" (No. 54): Venue sales generated from Kid Rock's recent slate of tour dates in east north central region of the U.S. spur a 230% gain for the album. In turn, it re-enters at No. 54 with 7,000 sold -- with 79% of that sum originating from sales at concerts. -- The Wild Feathers, "The Wild Feathers" (No. 109): The rock band's debut album bows at No. 109 this week and No. 1 on Heatseekers Albums. The set is supported by the Triple A radio chart hit "The Ceiling," which arrived on the tally back in April. This week, it climbs to a new peak, rising one spot to No. 14. -- Aubrey O'Day & Brooke Hyland (Nos. 131 and 138): The solo debut album from the Danity Kane's Aubrey O'Day -- "Between Two Evils" -- starts at No. 131 on the Billboard 200, and also struts onto the Heatseekers Albums chart at No. 3. It sold 3,000 copies in its first week, and is exclusively available as a digital album. Danity Kane, which formed on the TV reality show "Making the Band," notched back-to-back No. 1 debuts on the Billboard 200 with their two albums, released in 2006 and 2008… Meanwhile, another TV reality personality, Brooke Hyland, makes her debut this week with her self-titled album. The teenage TV star has gained notoriety for appearing as a dancer on Lifetime's "Dance Moms." Her set arrives at No. 138 on the Billboard 200 and No. 4 on the Heatseekers chart.
