[wavey.]

Iggy nice boost! I knew MJ was going to get shut out, lol.
Look how close John is to official Gold.

[popstop]

Yah, I knew with HITS being that close, this was a possibility. Too bad - I wanted to see MJ at #1. Good sales for the Black Keys though.

[Gary]

There could still be a recount, there has been before.

HITS has boasted a few times that they had an accurate chart from the get go and Billboard had to rerun

[divasummer]

I was SO hoping Michael would have been num.1.
I thought w/all the Sun hype he would have squeaked it out.

[KeepDeanWeird]

Wow. I really thought Billboard would come through. I had a feeling that SoundScan would be different than HITS (regardless of the two). Fortunately, TBK are worthy, so it's not like MJ lost out to pedestrian mass-market garbage like "Frozen"

[Glove Slap]

YES! So happy about this!



No shade to Mike though, it's not like he hasn't had #1 albums already.

The Black Keys Earn First No. 1 Album, Michael Jackson Debuts At No. 2

Rock duo the Black Keys collect its first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart with "Turn Blue" debuting at No. 1, while Michael Jackson's "Xscape" starts at No. 2.

"Turn Blue" sold 164,000 copies in the week ending May 18, according to Nielsen SoundScan, while "Xscape" sold 157,000. Both albums surpassed their industry forecast, as on Friday, May 16, sources suggested they would sell around 150,000 to 155,000 each.

"Turn Blue" is the third top 10 album for the Black Keys, following the No. 2 debut of their last album, 2011's "El Camino" (which sold 206,000 in its first week). Before that, the act's previous top 10, 2010's "Brothers," debuted and peaked at No. 3.

"Fever,” the first single from "Turn Blue," topped both the Alternative airplay and Rock Airplay charts.

Meanwhile, "Xscape" is Jackson's tenth top 10 effort. He previously reached the region with "Ben" (No. 5 peak in 1972), "Off the Wall" (No. 3, 1980), "Thriller" (No. 1, 1982), "Bad" (No. 1, 1987), "Dangerous" (No. 1, 1992), "History: Past, Present and Future Book 1" (No. 1, 1995), "Invincible" (No. 1, 2001), and the posthumous releases "Michael Jackson's This Is It" soundtrack (No. 1, 2009) and "Michael" (No. 3, 2010).

"Xscape" was led by the single "Love Never Felt So Good," a duet with Justin Timberlake. It became Jackson's 28th top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 when it debuted on the May 17 chart at No. 20. The song also saw its official music video, with Timberlake, debut on May 14. Four days later, a virtual Jackson appeared during the Billboard Music Awards, performing the "Xscape" album track "Slave to the Rhythm."

Last week's No. 1, the "Now 50" compilation, falls to No. 3 with 82,000 (down 47 percent). The soundtrack to "Frozen" slips 2-4 with 73,000 (down 26 percent).

Rascal Flatts' "Rewind" enters at No. 5 with 61,000 -- the country trio's ninth top 10 album. All of Rascal Flatts' studio albums since 2002's "Melt" have gone top 10, in addition to a greatest hits release in 2008.

Behind Rascal Flatts is music legend Dolly Parton, with her highest charting solo album ever, "Blue Smoke," bowing at No. 6 with 37,000 sold. It's also her best sales week for a solo project since 1993, when "Slow Dancing With the Moon" moved 39,000 copies in its fifth chart week (ending March 28).

About 55 percent of "Blue Smoke's" first week sales came from non-traditional sellers, like QVC. On April 27, Parton starred in an hour-long concert special for the shopping network, which sold a special edition of "Blue Smoke" with a bonus disc of live songs. In addition, during release week, Parton visited a number of TV shows, including NBC's "Today," CBS' "The Talk," NBC's "The Tonight Show" (May 13) and "The Wendy Williams Show" (May 15).

Parton, amazingly, has only visited the top 10 of the Billboard 200 once before: with the collaborative set "Trio," with Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt. It peaked at No. 6 on May 2, 1987, after earlier debuting at No. 38 on March 28, 1987.

In terms of Parton's solo efforts, her highest charting effort had previously been No. 11 with "9 to 5 and Odd Jobs," on March 21, 1981. That album of course featured her No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 single "9 to 5", as well as the No. 41 hit "But You Know I Love You" and the No. 77-peaking "The House of the Rising Sun."

Tori Amos collects her eighth top 10 album with "Unrepentant Geraldines" starting at No. 7 with 20,000. It's her highest charting release since 2007's "American Doll Posse" debuted and peaked at No. 7 as well.

Sarah McLachlan's "Shine On" falls 4-8 in its second week, selling 18,000 (down 58 percent). Hunter Hayes' "Storyline" also descends, moving 3-9 with 16,000 (down 76 percent).

Michael W. Smith tallies his best showing ever on the chart, as his new "Sovereign" opens at No. 10 with just under 16,000. The veteran Christian singer had never previously gone higher than No. 11 with 2004's "Healing Rain."

Over on the Digital Songs chart, Ariana Grande's "Problem," featuring Iggy Azalea, holds at No. 1 for a third week, selling 248,000 downloads (up 5 percent). Azalea is also steady at No. 2 with her own song, "Fancy," featuring Charli XCX (234,000; up 8 percent). Both tunes were performed in a medley on the May 18 Billboard Music Awards (BBMAs) -- and May 18 was the final day of the tracking week.

Another BBMAs-performed cut, John Legend's "All Of Me," rises 4-3 with 158,000 (up 10 percent). Pharrell's "Happy" drops 3-4 with 130,000 (down 17 percent), DJ Snake & Lil Jon's "Turn Down For What" is a non-mover at No. 5 with 121,000 (down 7 percent). Nico & Vinz's "Am I Wrong" continues its climb, rising 8-6 with 115,000 (up 23 percent).

Michael Jackson & Justin Timberlake's "Love Never Felt So Good" is pushed back one spot, but increases in sales, with 110,000 (up 9 percent).

Jason Derulo's "Wiggle," featuring Snoop Dogg, is also pushed down a rung, but gains: 109,000 for the week (up 16 percent).

Pop/rock quartet 5 Seconds of Summer nets its second top 10 on the Digital Songs chart with "Don't Stop," which bows at No. 9 with 91,000. Derulo is in the top 10 once more, with "Talk Dirty," featuring 2 Chainz, staying put at No. 10 with 85,000 (up 4 percent).

Overall album sales in this past chart week (ending May 18) totaled 4.54 million units, down 2 percent compared with the sum last week (4.61 million) and down 11 percent compared with the comparable sales week of 2013 (5.11 million). Year to date album sales stand at 93.98 million, down 16 percent compared to the same total at this point last year (111.41 million).

Digital track sales this past week totaled 20.94 million downloads, up 2 percent compared with last week (20.54 million) and down 14 percent stacked next to the comparable week of 2013 (24.43 million). Year to date track sales are at 465.47 million, down 12 percent compared to the same total at this point last year (531.18 million).

Next week's Billboard 200 competes with the same week in 2013 when: Daft Punk's "Random Access Memories" debuted at No. 1 with 339,000 and Darius Rucker's "True Believers" started at No. 2 with 83,000.

Why is Billboard's chart different from Hits'? Which one is more accurate?

The Black Keys' last three albums have debuted at 3-2-1.

And the legendary Dolly proving that once again, peak positions on Billboard are not the be-all and end-all.

Billboard is actual Soundscan data. HITS uses various methods to accumulate an estimate.

I thought easily based on his name, that he would open up with at least 100k. But I think the promotion, and the first single going nowhere had to do something with it.

[HolidayGuy]

Number Ones obviously saw a huge bump following MJ's passing. It initially had peaked at No. 13- which stands as its Billboard 200 peak, but following his death, it reached No. 1 on Comprehensive Albums (before catalog titles were allowed to chart on the BB 200).

[xxzion72xx]

I'm very glad black keys at # 1 !!!!...as for Jackson ...never liked him... Never will !!!!

[mluv]

I'm so not surprised that Billboard has different numbers than Hits. I can't say I'm upset that the Black Keys are number 1. I respect and enjoy MJ's music but he's dead and I have no desire to financially support the greedy hanger ons exploiting his memory for bucks. I'll just listen to it for free.

Country Music's Top 10 Albums: The Week Of May 21, 2014
By: Matt Bjorke
Last Updated: May 21, 2014 11:05 AM

Another week, another new #1 as the new releases keep flying off the shelves. Rascal Flatts hits #1 with “Rewind.” Dolly Parton scores Highest Debut Ever in Top 200!

With “Rewind,” Rascal Flatts hits the #1 slot of the Top Country Albums chart for the 8th consecutive time. While the opening sales number of 63k isn’t nearly as high as some of their previous debuts(“Me An My Gag” debuted with 721k in 2006, it’s still a solid number in 2014. Dolly Parton debuts at #2 with “Blue Smoke,” ana lbum which already has hit #1 in Australia, New Zealand and Top 5 in the UK. It also is her highest-ever debut on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart for all genres, besting 1980s “9 To 5 and Odd Jobs” by 5 places. 2011’s “Better Day” debuted at #11 and #51, respectively. Last week’s #1 “Storyline” from Hunter Hayes sits at #3/#9 this week while at #4/12 is Luke Bryan with “Crash My Party,” giving country music ..." of the Top 12 of the All-genre albums chart and it stays that way for the entire country Top 5 as Florida Georgia Line’s “Here’s To The Good Times” sits at #5/15 this week.

Keith Urbans “Fuse” rises even higher int0 the Top 10, and even returns to all-genre Top 20.

Keith Urban’s “Fuse” returns to the Top 20 in the all-genre chart for the first time since early in its lifecycle thanks to a boost from American Idol (where he performed). The album sold 13k, more than double (120%) than what it sold last week bringing the scanned number for the album to 354k in 36 weeks on the charts. Eric Church is at #7 on our Country albums rundown with The Outsiders. it moved another 9k (its first time outside the 10k number since releasing 14 weeks ago) and has now moved 582k -- the best-selling Country album of 2014 -- so far. Sitting at #8 this week is the second volume of the 2nd season of Nashville’s TV soundtrack. it has now sold 24k to date (though its singles featured within it have sold even more indiviually). sitting at #9 is Blake Shelton’s “Based On A True Story” while #10 is Dierks Bentley’s “Riser.” which
Notable albums include Sturgill Simpson’s sophomore album “Metamodern Sounds In Country Music.”

Sturgill Simpson may not get much in the way of radio hits at the moment but the honky tonker still has a notable album as his sophomore album debuts at #11 on the Country chart and #59 overall, outselling much bigger names and proving that DYI country music is pretty viable in its own right. His debut from 2013, “High Top Mountain” didn’t hit the Top 50 of either chart. Brantley Gilbert’s “Halfway To Heaven” retains a 5k sales week and is sure to sell even more this week with his new album “Just As I Am” now in stores. Cole Swindell’s self-titled album sits at #79 on the all-genre chart this week with sales at 164k to date while Jake Owen’s “Days Of Gold” sits at #137 with sales at 142k to date. Thomas Rhett rounds out our rundown of Notables with another 3k to his debut “It Goes Like This.” The album has moved 166k to date.

Other Ablum notes: Dan+Shay surpass the 60k mar kn their 7th week with “Where It All Began,” Jerrod Niemann’s “High Noon” has moved 42k in 8 weeks, while Wille Nelson’s “Super Hits” catalog title has now sold over 2.6 million copies to date.

Chart Watch: The Black Keys Beat Michael Jackson
By Paul Grein, Yahoo! Chart Watch

Michael Jackson loved the charts, so he would have been disappointed by this week's news. Xscape, a collection of previously unreleased tracks which he recorded between 1983 and 1999, just missed becoming his seventh #1 album. The album enters The Billboard 200 at #2, behind The Black Keys's Turn Blue. Jackson's album sold 157K copies. If it had sold just 7K more copies, it would have debuted at #1 and Turn Blue would have had to settle for the runner-up slot.

Turn Blue had a big lead in digital sales (95K, compared to 54K for Xscape), but Jackson's album sold more physical copies (103K, compared to 69K). How to explain this? A lot of Jackson's fans wanted the CD for a keepsake.

At first it looked like Xscape would come out on top, but Nielsen SoundScan and Billboard didn't count nearly 9K copies of CDs that were given away with the purchase of a ticket or T-shirt at Jackson's Cirque Du Soleil show in Las Vegas. (Chart policy is that consumers have to actively choose to buy an album. They can't just get it with bundled with something else.)

Turn Blue is the Black Keys's first #1 album, following two near-misses. Brothers peaked at #3. El Camino reached #2. The Black Keys are the first rock band to top The Billboard 200 since Arcade Fire scored in November with Reflektor. (I have more on the duo below.)

Jackson's showing improves on that of his first posthumous set of new material, Michael, which debuted and peaked at #3 in December 2010. Xscape has something going for it that Michael didn't: a hit single. "Love Never Felt So Good," a duet with Justin Timberlake, has climbed as high as #20 on the Hot 100. "Hold My Hand," with Akon, the lead single from Michael, peaked at #39.

Xscape enters the U.K.'s Official Albums Chart at #1. It's Jackson's 10th #1 album in that country.

Jackson's 2003 compilation Number Ones rebounds from #106 to #28 in its 176th week on The Billboard 200. The album returns to #1 on Top Catalog Albums. This is its 29th week on top of that chart.

Two other Jackson albums are streaking back up The Billboard 200. His 2005 compilation The Essential Michael Jackson rebounds from #75 to #67. His 1982 opus Thriller rebounds from #127 to #70.

The Essential Michael Jackson tops the 500K mark in U.S. digital sales this week. It's Jackson's best-selling digital album. Thriller is in second place with sales of 430K digital copies.

Jackson has sold 34,723,000 albums in the U.S. since January 1991. That puts him in 14th place on Nielsen SoundScan's running list of the best-selling artists in its history. He's sandwiched between two hit-makers of comparable sales but lesser stature: Kenny G and Shania Twain. In the week before he died in June 2009, Jackson ranked #47 on this running list. He had sales, to that point, of 21,737,000 albums.

The Black Keys are among the most successful bands in rock. Each of the duo's six charted albums has climbed higher than the one before it. Each of their two most recent albums sold more than 1.3 million copies and won a Grammy. Brothers was voted Best Alternative Music Album of 2010. El Camino won as Best Rock Album of 2012.

Turn Blue also enters Top Digital Albums at #1. It's the duo's second #1 album in a row on this chart.

Trivia time: The Black Keys is the fourth group whose name begins with the word “Black” to reach #1 on The Billboard 200. It follows the Black Crowes, the Black Eyed Peas and Black Sabbath. (No “White” groups have reached #1, though two have reached #2: Whitesnake and the White Stripes.)

Frozen drops from #2 to #4. This is the album's 21st week in the top five. That's the longest run in the top five for a soundtrack from a theatrically-released movie since The Lion King (another Disney property) had 23 non-consecutive weeks in the top five in 1994-1995. Frozen is #1 on Top Soundtracks for the 25th week. In Japan, the album is #1 for the fourth week (under the title Anna And The Snow Queen.)

Rascal Flatts's ninth studio album, Rewind, debuts at #5. It's the trio's ninth top 10 album. The album enters Top Country Albums at #1, displacing Hunter Hayes's Storyline. It's the trio's eighth #1 country album.

Dolly Parton's 42nd solo studio album, Blue Smoke, debuts at #6. It's her second top 10 album; her first on her own. Her only previous top 10 album was Trio, which she recorded in 1987 with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris. That album also peaked at #6. Blue Smoke enters Top Country Albums at #2. Parton first cracked the top 10 on that chart in 1968 with Just Between You And Me, a collabo with Porter Wagoner. She first made it on her own the following year with My Blue Ridge Mountain Boy.

Contemporary Christian star Michael W. Smith finally lands his first top 10 album in a career that dates back to 1983. Sovereign, his 16th studio album, debuts at #10.

"Problem" by Ariana Grande featuring Iggy Azalea holds at #1 on Top Digital Songs for the third week (248K). It's the first song to spend its first three weeks at #1 since Katy Perry's "Roar" spent its first four weeks on top last summer. Will "Problem" be able to dethrone John Legend's "All Of Me" on the Hot 100? You'll find out later today when we post my first of two Chart Watch Songs blogs.

Here's a recap of this week's top 10 albums.

The Top Five: The Black Keys's Turn Blue debuts at #1 (164K). It's the band's third top 10 album … Michael Jackson's Xscape debuts at #2 (157K). It's his 16th top 10 album (counting six albums he recorded with his brothers)… Now 50 drops from #1 to #3 in its second week (82K) … The Frozen soundtrack drops from #2 to #4 in its 25th week (73K). This is its 23rd week in the top 10 … Rascal Flatts's Rewind debuts at #5 (61K). It's the trio's ninth top 10 album.

The Second Five: Dolly Parton's Blue Smoke debuts at #6 (37K). It's her second top 10 album Tori Amos's Unrepentant Geraldines debuts at #7 (20K). It's her eighth top 10 album … Sarah McLachlan's Shine On drops from #4 to #8 in its second week (18K) ... Hunter Hayes's Storyline drops from #3 to #9 in its second week (16K) … … Michael W. Smith's Sovereign debuts at #10 (16K). It's his first top 10 album.

Six albums drop out of the top 10 this week. Tech N9ne Collabos's Strangeulation drops from #5 to #33. Pharrell Williams's G I R L drops from #6 to #13. Luke Bryan's Crash My Party drops from #7 to #12. Atmosphere's Southsiders plummets from #8 to #51. Santana's Corazon drops from #9 to #17. Lorde's Pure Heroine drops from #10 to #19.

Chromeo's fourth studio album, White Women, debuts at #11. It's the highest-charting album to date for the Canadian electro-funk duo … Demi Lovato's Demi re-enters the chart at #18, fueled by a $4.99 sale in the iTunes store. The album debuted and peaked at #3 one year ago this week.

The Broadway cast album to Beautiful—The Carole King Musical debuts at #60. The show is nominated for seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical. They'll be presented on June 8 … The Godzilla soundtrack, featuring a score by Alexandre Desplat, debuts at #169. The movie was #1 at the box-office over the weekend.

Norah Jones's 2002 album Come Away With Me this week becomes the 11th album to sell 11 million copies since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking music sales in 1991. It's the fourth album by a female solo artist to hit this threshold, following Shania Twain's Come On Over (15,566,000), Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill (14,927,000) and the Whitney Houston-dominated The Bodyguard soundtrack (12,116,000).

Barry Manilow's Live From Paris Las Vegas enters Top Music Videos at #1, displacing Metallica's "Through The Never." Manilow first topped this chart in June 1990 with Live On Broadway.

Coming Attractions: Look for Coldplay's Ghost Stories to debut at #1 next week with first-week sales in the 325K range. Country star Brantley Gilbert's Just As I Am will debut at #2 (170K). Phillip Phillips's Behind The Light will open around #7 (30K). Also due: The Roots's …And Then You Shoot Your Cousin, Conor Oberst's Upside Down Mountain and Afrojack's Forget The World

Nice jump!

[Adonis the DemiGod!]

LMAO! Why does epic think that should count for the BB200. How about not giving those people anything. Lets face it if they were willing to go to LV for MJ they probably would've also purchased MJs album. LOL!

[areyoureadytojump]

Prepare for MJ fans to freak out. Will they break the internet? LOL

[HolidayGuy]

That wold explain the discrepancy; if the CD was just handed to those buying a T-shirt at the concert. However, in regard to a ticket- how did concertgoers receive the album? Must have been handed to them at the venue, like Prince's [Musicology years back, for them not to count.

[areyoureadytojump]

Paul Grein has removed his article from Yahoo!.

So who's mad? SoundScan, Black Keys or Sony?

[midnightprism]

I just listened to Sturgill Simpson. Dam*, he's great.
