YAAAAAAAS Aubrey! 1 million next week!

Chainz' sales are disappointing after his debut.

[wavey.]

Agreed Glove Slap, no promotion will lead to that. He should at least be at 250k now.

[Duca]

Has Yeezus seriously left the Billboard 200? He did Kimmel and Fallon just recently.

[areyoureadytojump]

^No. They don't do every Rap album each week. They've posted positions before for Miley Cyrus and Robin Thicke.

Katy Perry's 'PRISM' Shines At No. 1 On Billboard 200
By Keith Caulfield, L.A. | October 30, 2013

Fifth Harmony, AFI and DJ Khaled also post Top 10 debuts this week.

Katy Perry's new "PRISM" album debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 this week, selling 286,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The most recent tracking week ended Sunday, Oct. 27.

It's the largest sales week this year for an album by a woman and the second-largest for a pop effort. Among women, she surpasses Miley Cyrus' "Bangerz" for the year's biggest sales week. ("Bangerz" bowed at No. 1 with 270,000 three weeks ago.) Among pop sets, only Daft Punk's "Random Access Memories" had a larger frame this year, when it debuted with 339,000.

"PRISM" also tallies the debut largest week for a female pop artist's album since Madonna's "MDNA" bowed at No. 1 with 359,000 on the April 14, 2012, chart.

"PRISM" is Perry's second No. 1 album, following her last release, 2010's "Teenage Dream." "PRISM" also captures Perry's biggest sales week yet, stepping ahead of her previous high-water mark, when "Teenage" launched with 192,000.

While Perry's "PRISM" brightens the top of the chart, the rest of the albums on the tally sell far fewer copies. In fact, "PRISM" outsells the Nos. 2-9 albums combined. In turn, overall album sales fell to a historic low this past week: 4.49 million albums were sold, falling below the SoundScan-era (1991-present) low that was set in the week ending Sept. 15 (4.54 million).

Meanwhile, last week's No. 1 album, Pearl Jam's "Lightning Bolt," falls to No. 2 with 46,000 in its second week. It's down by 72%.

Perry's "PRISM" is one of four albums to bow in the top 10 this week. The next-highest arrival is Fifth Harmony's "Better Together" EP, which starts at No. 6 with 28,000. The six-song set marks the highest-charting effort from an act born from the U.S. edition of "The X Factor." The five-piece vocal act formed during the second season of "The X Factor" in 2012.

Only one other U.S. "X Factor" act, Emblem3, has reached the top 10. That trio's debut set, "Nothing to Lose," debuted and peaked at No. 7 on the Aug. 17 chart.

DJ Khaled's new album "Suffering From Success" also starts in the top 10 this week, bowing at No. 7 with 27,000 sold. It's the hip-hop DJ's fifth top 10 effort, and follows 2012's "Kiss the Ring," which launched at No. 4 with 41,000.

AFI's "Burials" rounds out the arrivals in the top 10, as it debuts at No. 9 with 25,000. It's the third top 10 album for the band, whose last studio set, 2009's "Crash Love," debuted and peaked at No. 12 with 52,000. It previously logged top 10s with 2006's No. 1 "Decemberunderground" and 2003's No. 5 hit "Sing the Sorrow."

As for the rest of the holdovers in the top 10, Drake's "Nothing Was the Same" is up one slot to No. 3 with 44,000 (down 24%) while Cyrus' "Bangerz" dips 2-4 with 43,000 (down 40%).

Lorde's "Pure Heroine" climbs 7-5 with 40,000 (down 16%), and Justin Timberlake's "The 20/20 Experience (2 of 2)" rises 11-8 with 26,000 (down 28%). Luke Bryan's "Crash My Party" is the last of the non-debuts in the top 10 this week, as it ascends 12-10 with nearly 25,000 (down 3%).

Over on the Digital Songs chart, Lorde's "Royals" returns to No. 1, selling 222,000 downloads (down 13%). It replaces Eminem's "Rap God," which opened atop the list last week, but falls to No. 9 this week with 106,000 (down 61%).

Avicii's "Wake Me Up!" rises 4-2 with 158,000 (down 14%) while Lady Gaga's "Do What U Want" (featuring R. Kelly) debuts at No. 3 with 156,000. It's the second single from Gaga's upcoming "ARTPOP" album, which is due Nov. 11. The album's first single, "Applause," debuted 11 weeks ago at No. 3 with 218,000. This week, "Applause" dips 10-15 with 80,000 (down 9%), and has sold a total of 1.6 million.

With the arrival of "Do What U Want," R. Kelly earns his highest-charting single on the 9-year-old Digital Songs chart. He previously rose as high as No. 13 with his featured role on Young Jeezy's "Go Getta" in 2007.

OneRepublic's "Counting Stars" vaults 9-4 with 152,000 (up 48%), logging its best sales week yet. The song concurrently rises 38-30 on the Pop Songs airplay chart (known as Mainstream Top 40 on Billboard.biz).

Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball" is stationary at No. 5 with 136,000 (down 17%) while Taylor Swift's new "Sweeter Than Fiction" bows at No. 6 with 114,000. Justin Bieber's latest release in his Music Mondays series, "Hold Tight," launches at No. 7 with 111,000.

Perry's "Roar" slides 3-8 with a little more than 111,000 (down 41%), while Ylvis' "The Fox" descends 8-10 with 100,000 (down 5%).

Overall album sales in this past chart week (ending Oct. 27) totaled 4.5 million units, down 4% compared with the sum last week (4.7 million) and down 28% compared with the comparable sales week of 2012 (6.3 million). Year-to-date album sales stand at 223.4 million, down 7% compared with the same total at this point last year (240.4 million).

Digital track sales this past week totaled 19.89 million downloads, up less than 1% compared with last week (19.85 million) and down 6% stacked next to the comparable week of 2012 (21.1 million). Year-to-date track sales are at 1.054 billion, down 4% compared with the same total at this point last year (1.098 billion).

Next week's Billboard 200 competes with the same week in 2012 when: Swift's "Red" held firm at No. 1 for a second week, selling 344,000 (down 72%). Meek Mill's "Dreams & Nightmares" was the top debut, bowing at No. 2 with 165,000.

[HolidayGuy]

Another SoundScan-era low reached.

Lorde's album is holding up nicely.

[areyoureadytojump]

^Good thing we have Eminem next week and GaGa the week after. That'll help.

I'm kinda starting love every time they publish some ambiguous data like that. I must say they have a real knack for it. Never dissapoints.

Week Ending Oct. 27, 2013. Albums: Katy Perry Takes Female Record
By Paul Grein20 minutes agoChart Watch

.Katy Perry’s third album, PRISM, sold 286K copies in its first week, which establishes a new record for a female artist in 2013. She edges out Miley Cyrus, whose Bangerz sold 270K in its first week two weeks ago. PRISM got off to a considerably faster start than Perry's last album, Teenage Dream, which sold 192K in its first week in August 2010.

Teenage Dream will forever be held up as Exhibit A when it comes to not dismissing an album based on a weaker-than-expected debut. Many pooh-poohed that album's first-week tally, given that the lead single, "California Gurls" (featuring Snoop Dogg), was a blockbuster. It had sold 3,319,000 copies by the time the album came out.

.You don't need me to tell you that Teenage Dream confounded the naysayers. The album (which re-enters the chart at #106 this week) has sold 2,782,000 copies. It became the first album in a generation to spawn five #1 hits on the Hot 100. It even received a Grammy nomination for Album of the Year.

Some, no doubt, will say that PRISM should have should have sold more than 286K copies. Perry, after all, is one of the biggest and most broadly popular music stars of the past five years. But I think we have to accept the reality that album sales aren't what they used to be and that 286K is a solid total for a pop album. It's probably the equivalent of 750K or so in the early 2000s, when album sales were at their peak.

.The last female artist to sell more than 286K copies in a week was Taylor Swift, whose Red sold 1,208,000 copies in its first week and 344K in its second late last year. Swift is in a class by herself in terms of album sales. Also, she has a country base, which Perry and Cyrus don't have.

The tally for Perry is the ninth biggest opening of the year, behind albums by Justin Timberlake (968K), Drake (658K), Jay Z (528K), Luke Bryan (528K), Timberlake again (350K), Daft Punk (339K), Kanye West (327K) and J. Cole (297K).

Let's take a closer look at that list. Drake, Jay Z, West and J. Cole are hip-hop, a genre with a huge, active constituency. Bryan is country, another genre with a vast, built-in audience. Daft Punk is dance music. That leaves just Timberlake and Perry representing mainstream pop.

.PRISM also enters The U.K.'s Official Albums Chart at #1. It's Perry's second album in a row to reach #1 in both the U.S. and the U.K. Perry is the first "California Gurl" (that is to say, a woman born in California) to have two "transatlantic #1 albums." Moreover, both of these albums contained a single that reached #1 in both countries ("California Gurls," featuring Snoop Dogg, and "Roar," respectively.)

PRISM sold 138K digital copies in the U.S., which allows it to enter Top Digital Albums at #1.

.Pearl Jam’s Lightning Bolt dips from #1 to #2. As you know, last week it became the band's fifth #1 album. That's one more #1 album than Nirvana had. That trio had four #1 albums between 1992 and 1996. These two bands were the leaders of the Seattle-based alternative rock scene which rocked the music business in the early 1990s. Pearl Jam is also ahead of its one-time rivals in overall album sales, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Pearl Jam has sold 31,785,000 albums. Nirvana has sold 26,410,000.

.Fifth Harmony's Better Together EP debuts at #6. The quintet consists of five young women, ages 16 to 20, who finished third on the second season of The X Factor. Their "Miss Movin' On" has climbed as high as #76 in its 10 weeks on the Hot 100.

Fifth Harmony is the second act whose name begins with the word "Fifth" to land a top 10 album. The 5th Dimension reached the top 10 from 1967 to 1970 with Up, Up And Away, The Age Of Aquarius and The 5th Dimension/Greatest Hits.

.Justin Timberlake's The 20/20 Experience 2 of 2 rebounds from #11 to #8 (showing more resiliency than I gave it credit for last week). Speaking of Timberlake, his first The 20/20 Experience tops the 1 million mark in digital sales this week. It's the eighth album to sell 1 million digital copies; the second by a male solo artist. (Eminem's Recovery has sold 1,275,000 digital copies.) Total sales to date of Timberlake's album (physical and digital combined): 2,330,000. Total sales to date of 2 of 2: 481K.

Luke Bryan's Crash My Party rebounds from #12 to #10. It returns to #1 on Top Country Albums. This is its seventh week on top. That's the longest run at #1 for an album by a male solo artist since Jason Aldean's My Kinda Party (another album with a "party" in its title) had 12 weeks on top in 2011. (Country folk sure like to party. Gretchen Wilson's Here For The Party was #1 for nine weeks in 2004.)

.Lorde's "Royals" returns to #1 on Hot Digital Songs (222K). This is its fifth week on top. That's the longest run at #1 on this chart for a hit by a female artist (in a lead or featured role) since Taylor Swift's "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" spent its first five weeks at #1 in the summer of 2012. Will "Royals" also log its fifth week at #1 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.

The Top Five: Katy Perry’s PRISM debuts at #1 (286K). It’s her third top 10 album…Pearl Jam’s Lightning Bolt dips from #1 to #2 in its second week (46K)…Drake's Nothing Was The Same rebounds from #4 to #3 in its fifth week (44K). It has been in the top five the entire time… Miley Cyrus' Bangerz drops from #2 to #4 in its third week (44K). It has been in the top five the entire time…Lorde's Pure Heroine rebounds from #7 to #5 in its fourth week (40K). It has been in the top 10 the entire time.

The Second Five: Fifth Harmony's Better Together EP debuts at #6 (28K). It's the group's first top 10 album…DJ Khaled's Suffering From Success debuts at #7 (27K). It's his fifth top 10 album…Justin Timberlake's The 20/20 Experience 2 of 2 rebounds from #11 to #8 in its fourth week (26K). This is its third week in the top 10…AFI's Burials debuts at #9 (25K). It's the band's third top 10 album…Luke Bryan's Crash My Party rebounds from #12 to #10 in its 11th week (25K). This is its ninth week in the top 10.

Six albums drop out of the top 10 this week. Paul McCartney's New drops from #3 to #11. The Avett Brothers' Magpie And The Dandelion drops from #5 to #20. Scotty McCreery’s See You Tonight drops from #6 to #15. Cher's Closer To The Truth drops from #8 to #13. Willie Nelson's To All The Girls… drops from #9 to #19. The Head & The Heart's Let's Be Still drops from #10 to #14.

.TLC's 20 vaults from #72 to #12 in its second week. The surge is due to VH1's biopic, CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story, which drew 4.5 million viewers in its first airing. That made it the highest-rated cable movie of the year. The show was named after the trio's sophomore album, which re-enters the chart at #108. It has sold 7,495,000 copies.

Only two albums by all-female groups have sold more copies in the Nielsen SoundScan era. And they're both by the same group—Dixie Chicks. (There's that country base again.) Wide Open Spaces, the Chicks' first major-label album, has sold 8,841,000 copies. Fly, its second, has sold 8,396,000. Next in line, after CrazySexyCool, are Spice Girls' debut album, Spice (7,453,000), and Destiny's Child's sophomore album, Writing's On The Wall (6,347,000).

.20, the title of TLC's new album, is a reference to the act's longevity. TLC first cracked the top 20 in July 1992 with its debut album, Ooooooohhh…On The TLC Tip. (So 21 would have been more accurate.) Janet Jackson also made note of the 20th anniversary of her breakthrough with the title of her 2006 album, 20 Y.O. (as in Years On).

Tori Kelly's Foreward debuts at #16. She is the second artist named "Tori" to crack the top 20. Tori Amos first reached the top 20 in February 1994 with Under The Pink.

Motorhead's Aftershock debuts at #22. It's the first album by the English metal band to make the top 50. The band released its first album, Motorhead, in August 1977. It first cracked The Billboard 200 in May 1982 with Iron Fist.

.Def Leppard's Viva! Hysteria debuts at #24. The highlight of this sprawling live album (two CDs and a DVD) is a performance of the band's 1987 album Hysteria in its entirety. Hysteria was the English rock band’s fourth album. The album logged 78 weeks in the top 10 from August 1987 to March 1989. That's the longest run in the top 10 for any album by a group or duo. In the last 50 years, only four other albums have spent as many or more weeks in the top 10: The Sound Of Music soundtrack (109 weeks), Bruce Springsteen's Born In The U.S.A. (84 weeks), Adele's 21 (81 weeks) and Michael Jackson's Thriller (also 78 weeks).

Andrea Bocelli's Love In Portofino debuts at #40. The live album was recorded in Portofino, Italy in August 2012…Il Volo's Buon Natale: The Christmas Album debuts at #55. The Italian operatic pop trio is patterned after Il Divo, which had the best-selling holiday album of 2005 with The Christmas Collection.

.Van Morrison's classic 1970 album Moondance re-enters the chart at #68. It has climbed as high as #29. The album reaches #1 on Top Catalog Albums for the first time in the Nielsen SoundScan era. The album has sold 2,683,000 copies since 1991.

Pitch Perfect rebounds from #100 to #92 in its 45th week. It's the highest-ranking soundtrack to a theatrically-released soundtrack for the 26th week.

Donna Summer's Love To Love You Donna debuts at #97. The clever title is a play on Summer's first hit, "Love To Love You Baby," which rose to #2 in February 1976. Summer died in May 2012 from lung cancer.

.Maroon 5 this week becomes just the second act to top the 500K mark in digital sales with three different albums. Taylor Swift was the first. Maroon 5 achieves the feat as its 2010 album Hands All Over tops the 500K mark. It follows 2012's Overexposed (which is up to 703K in digital sales) and 2007's It Won't Be Soon Before Long (501K). Swift's albums are higher on Nielsen SoundScan's "release-to-date" digital sales chart. Red has sold 1,112,000 digital copies. Fearless has sold 924K. Speak Now has sold 832K. Grammy trivia: Maroon 5 won a Grammy as Best New Artist. Swift was nominated for that award, but lost to Amy Winehouse.

.R.I.P. Lou Reed's influence far exceeded his music sales, but the rock legend had some notable chart successes in the 1970s. His highest-charting single was the rock classic "Walk On The Wild Side," which reached #16 on the Hot 100 in April 1973. His highest-charting album was Sally Can't Dance, which hit #10 on The Billboard 200 in November 1974. The Velvet Underground's highest-charting album, the compilation VU, reached #85 in April 1985. The band never cracked the Hot 100. Reed was 71 when he died on Sunday.

Jason Aldean's Night Train To Georgia is #1 on Top Music Videos for the second straight week. He's the first country male solo artist to spend multiple frames at #1 on that chart since Garth Brooks' The Ultimate Hits (a CD/DVD combo) spent its first 13 weeks at #1 in late 2007 and early 2008. Aldean's video has sold 20K copies in its first two weeks.

Coming Attractions: Look for Arcade Fire's Reflektor to debut at #1 next week. Also due: Linkin Park's Recharged, Kelly Clarkson's Wrapped In Red, Thomas Rhett's It Goes Like This, Toby Keith's Drinks After Work, Robert Glasper Experiment's Black Radio Volume 2, Susan Boyle's Home For Christmas and Insane Clown Posse's Forgotten Freshness, Vol. 5.

[Push The Button]

...so if 286k is equivalent to 750k in the early 2000s, what was Red's total equivalent to? 3 million?

Not a healthy argument there, Paul. (As many of us on Pulse are well aware.)

[Love Plastic Love]

I am always amused when people try to make arguments like that and it is usually fans I see trying to make their artists look better and not actual billboard editors. Like, I guess Born This Way would have also sold 2-3 million in one week possibly challenging Nsync and every artist who has actually sold 800K+ in the last few years would have also sold almost or over 2 million in one week. That would mean having pretty frequent occurrences of artists selling that much in one week-amazing because only one actually did that during the early 2000s!

There have not been many big female releases this year. Before Miley, only Selena Gomez and Ariana Grande had hit #1 with their albums.

[Caviar]

This year overall has been lacking albums by female artists.

[The Upper Hand]

It's the largest sales week this year for an album by a woman and the second-largest for a pop effort. Among women, she surpasses Miley Cyrus' "Bangerz" for the year's biggest sales week. ("Bangerz" bowed at No. 1 with 270,000 three weeks ago.) Among pop sets, only Daft Punk's "Random Access Memories" had a larger frame this year, when it debuted with 339,000.

"PRISM" also tallies the debut largest week for a female pop artist's album since Madonna's "MDNA" bowed at No. 1 with 359,000 on the April 14, 2012, chart.

Justin Timberlake?
Taylor Swift?

^Their genre categorizations are so bizarre. I don't know how on earth an electronic duo with 1 top ten hit their entire career is "pop" but 2 actual pop stars are not.

No, that actually came from Paul Grein, which is strange, since seven months ago:

Week Ending March 24, 2013. Albums: Timberlake Sets Male Pop Record

The 20/20 Experience also set a new record for the biggest one-week sales tally for an album by a male pop artist since 1991, when Nielsen SoundScan began tracking sales for Billboard.

[Enigma.]

LMAO that Katy part is such a mess. Not being negative here, but that's the only way how someone can put the smaller opening than J. Cole look good: by saying that it's pretty much the only pop album this year that have been released.

On the other hand, good info here: Van Morrison's classic 1970 album Moondance re-enters the chart at #68. It has climbed as high as #29. The album reaches #1 on Top Catalog Albums for the first time in the Nielsen SoundScan era. The album has sold 2,683,000 copies since 1991.

[grandelf]

4.49 million is the new all-time low then. Not a good sign that it's the 4th quarter where new lows are reached, previously it's been January and the summer. Next year should see a notable collapse in album sales in my opinion.

[HolidayGuy]

Why does Moondance show as a debut, rather than a re-entry on the Billboard 200? Of course, it does show as No. 1 on the catalog chart. lol

Why does Moondance show as a debut, rather than a re-entry on the Billboard 200? Of course, it does show as No. 1 on the catalog chart. lol

Because Billboard chart editors are too busy writing diva articles and posting on Twitter rather than proofread the new charts!
