Lionel Richie's 'Tuskegee' Hits No. 1 on Billboard 200 Lionel Richie's "Tuskegee" album rises to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart in its third week on the list, selling 129,000 copies according to Nielsen SoundScan (up 35%). The set jumps three slots this week, easily overtaking Adele's "21" (holding at No. 2 with 92,000; down 40%). "Tuskegee" is the R&B and pop icon's third No. 1 album -- and his first since 1986's "Dancing on the Ceiling" spent two weeks in the penthouse. Though it seemed, at least late last week, that Adele's "21" was going to come out on top, Richie's sales surged over the weekend, thanks to last Friday's (April 13) CBS special "ACM Presents: Lionel Richie & Friends in Concert." (删节掉一段) It's not common for albums to actually climb up the chart and reach No. 1. Usually, albums that get to No. 1 do so by debuting there. "Tuskegee" bowed at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 three weeks ago with 199,000 -- his best sales week since SoundScan began tracking sales in 1991. He was lodged behind the also-debuting "MDNA" by Madonna, which topped the list that week with 359,000. Last week, "Tuskegee" fell from No. 2 to No. 4 with 95,000 (down 52%). (删节掉一段) Speaking of Minaj, her "Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded," falls from No. 1 to No. 3 this week with an unsurprising 68% decline (81,000). It's one of three top 10 arrivals from last week that drop by the usual 60%-plus in their second frame. Rascal Flatts' "Changed" descends 3-9 with 41,000 (down 68%) and Marvin Sapp's "I Win" collapses 9-23 with 15,000 (down 66%). The highest debut on the Billboard 200 this week is Monica's "New Life," which starts at No. 4 with 69,000. It's her fifth straight top 10 set -- All of her releases, save for her 1995 debut "Miss Thang," have reached the upper tier. She hit No. 1 once, with 2003's "After the Storm." One Direction's "Up All Night" holds steady at No. 5 with 66,000 (down 28%) while Bonnie Raitt makes an eye-popping debut at No. 6 with "Slipstream," selling 64,000. It's the veteran singer/songwriter's highest charting album and best sales week in nearly two decades. She hasn't been in the top 10 since 1994, when "Longing in Their Hearts" spent seven weeks in the region, peaking at No. 1 on April 16. "Hearts" also posted her last largest sales frame. Its first five weeks on the tally all cleared more than 66,000. (It debuted at No. 2 with 148,000, then reached No. 1 its second week with 146,000.) Gotye's "Making Mirrors" returns to the top 10, flying 15-7 with 54,000 (up 111%) in the wake of the artist's performance on NBC's "Saturday Night Live" (April 14) and "Glee's" cover of his hit "Somebody That I Used to Know" (April 10). This is also the best sales week yet for the album, coming one week after it had lodged its highest frame (26,000). On the Digital Songs chart, "Somebody That I Used to Know" jumps 2-1 with 542,000 downloads -- its first week at No. 1 and the fourth-best sales week ever for a digital song. It's also the best sales week of the year, surpassing the arrival of Justin Bieber's "Boyfriend" (521,000). Back on the Billboard 200 albums chart, Alabama Shakes' "Boys & Girls" rises 16-8 with 43,000 (up 72%) after the physical and wide release of the album. It debuted last week as an iTunes-exclusive. Rounding out the top 10 is rapper/singer-songwriter Hoodie Allen, who sees his debut EP "All American" bow at No. 10 with 28,000. The former Google employee (born Steven Markowitz) released the track "You Are Not a Robot" in the summer of 2010 and quickly found viral success. His mixtape "Pep Rally" soon followed, as did another, "Leap Year." Over on the Digital Songs chart, fun.'s "We Are Young" (featuring Janelle Monae) slips one rung to No. 2 with 333,000 (down 15%) while One Direction's "What Makes You Beautiful" rises 4-3 with 267,000 (down 9%). Justin Bieber's "Boyfriend" falls 3-4 (255,000; down 14%), Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" is up 6-5 (227,000; up 5%) and Nicki Minaj's "Starships" slips 5-6 (204,000; down 12%). Flo Rida's "Wild Ones" (featuring Sia) is up 8-7 (187,000; down 6%), the Wanted's "Glad You Came" falls 7-8 (181,000; down 14%) and "Mercy" by Kanye West, Big Sean, Pusha T & 2 Chainz rises 15-9 (154,000; up 32%). Closing out the top 10 is a new entry from the Glee Cast, with its cover of Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know" at No. 10 (152,000). Overall album sales in this past chart week (ending April 15) totaled 5.61 million units, down 12% compared to the sum last week (6.39 million) and down 11% compared to the comparable sales week of 2011 (6.32 million). Year to date album sales stand at 89.84 million, down less than 1% compared to the same total at this point last year (90.02 million). Digital track sales this past week totaled 26.21 million downloads, down 10% compared to last week (29.12 million) and up 9% stacked next to the comparable week of 2011 (24.06 million). Year to date track sales are at 416.66 million, up 8% compared to the same total at this point last year (386.35 million). Next week's Billboard 200 competes with the same week in 2011 when: Adele's "21" jumped back to No. 1 with 153,000 (up 65%) while "Glee, the Music Presents: the Warblers" debuted at No. 2 with 86,000. The previous week's No. 1, Foo Fighters' "Wasting Light," fell to No. 3 with 72,000 (down 69%). http://0rz.tw/lhu12 比尔伯官网新闻 本周Billboard专辑榜结果出乎上周预料之外 Lionel Richie的"Tuskegee"在发行第3周登上冠军 得力於节目宣传的效果 该张作品在周末销售明显上扬 以12.9万的销售量力克"21" 销售上涨35% 原本预期是这周冠军的"21" 则以9.2万位居亚军 销售下跌40% 数位单曲榜方面 Gotye的"Somebody That I Used to Know" 以54.2万的惊人销售制霸冠军 超过Justin Bieber的"Boyfriend" 成为今年单周最高 同时也是史上第4高的销售数字 看来HOT100的冠军应该是没问题了@@ 其他新闻提到的作品如下: Album: 1. 129,000 Tuskegee - Lionel Richie 2. 92,000 21 - Adele 3. 81,000 Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded - Nicki Minaj (↓68%) 4. 69,000 New Life - Monica 5. 66,000 Up All Night - One Direction 6. 64,000 Slipstream - Bonnie Raitt 7. 54,000 Making Mirrors - Gotye 8. 43,000 Boys & Girls - Alabama Shakes (↑72%) 数位单曲: 1. 542,000 Somebody That I Used to Know - Gotye 2. 333,000 We Are Young - Fun. 3. 267,000 What Makes You Beautiful - One Direction 4. 255,000 Boyfriend - Justin Bieber 5. 227,000 Call Me Maybe - Carly Rae Jepsen --
