That was a very heavy Country update, yet no Taylor Swift.....weird, must be a mistake. Either way, the chart looks okay this week!

3RD STRAIGHT #1 FOR GODSMACK!

[musicrocks]

Wow @ Lady A!!! This week overall was pretty good!

[Tanisha Thomas.]

The Mother's Day weekend gave a lot of artists bumps.

[HolidayGuy]

Nice total for Carole and James.

And, Toni B. at least cracked the top 10.

[galvanize]

Happy Mother's Day affected Court Yard Hounds & Carole King in increases.

And Toni has a slight chance of going to #8 on Soundscan... by all chances, I'm just hoping she passes Usher.

[HolidayGuy]

Yeah, King/Taylor is a great selection for that kind of holiday (though I like them both myself).

It shows how competitive this sales week is, that some albums with big percentage gains lost position- though, when half of the top 20 is debuts, that explains it in part.

[cartman2002]

This week the entire top ten sold more copies than the top ten sold last year thanks to Mother's Day

[lugus15]

Rihanna's sales are awful, for having a huge hit, I think she will not reach even 1m

[Tanisha Thomas.]

Rihanna has always been a so-so album seller.

[Deleted]

Lovin the gains for Lady A(both albums :) ) Miranda and an over 80% gain for Buble =)

[Legoman]

Ugh, Gaga just missed the top ten. Congrats to Godsmack.

[cking33]

Yay for Carole King and James Taylor! Though, I know Mother's Day had a lot to do with that. We'll see how it holds up. Hopefully, B.o.B doesn't keep tumbling down either.

[Deleted]

Barbara Streisand debuts at #1 on the music DVD chart which means it isn't going to show up here. Anyone know why that is a DVD and Carole King's disc is not?

[cking33]

That's a good question. Maybe because you can also buy the Streisand DVD separately? Whereas w/ Carole King and James Taylor, you're getting both automatically?

[kt1990]

Excellent increase for Miranda Lambert! Go 'Randa!
