Amy Winehouse Returns to Top 10 of Billboard 200, Adele Back at No. 1

Submitted by admin on Wed, 2011-07-27 11:00

As Adele [1]'s "21" heads back to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart for an 11th non-consecutive week (up two slots with 77,000 according to Nielsen SoundScan; a gain of 1%), the late Amy Winehouse [2] returns to the top 10 [3] with "Back to Black" at No. 9 (37,000; up 3,140%) .

Winehouse's first album, 2004's "Frank," also comes back to the tally, re-entering at No. 57 with 8,000 (up 4,100%). Additionally, her digital-only "Back to Black: B-Sides" EP, released in 2008, debuts at No. 152 with 3,000 after having sold next to nothing the previous week.

On the Digital Songs chart, "Rehab" -- the biggest hit from her 2007 "Back" album -- re-enters at No. 46 with 38,000 downloads sold. It is the only Winehouse song on the tally this week.

Back to the top 10 albums this week though -- Adele's 11 week run at the top makes it the biggest No. 1 since Taylor Swift [4]'s "Fearless" also spent 11 frames in the penthouse in late 2008 and early 2009. Since the chart began using SoundScan data in May of 1991, only eight albums have been No. 1 for 11 weeks or longer. If "21" hits a 12th week at No. 1, it will tie the runs racked up by Santana [5]'s "Supernatural" (1999) and Alanis Morissette [6]'s "Jagged Little Pill" (1995-1996).

At No. 2 this week, "Kidz Bop 20" debuts with 69,000, marking the third No. 2 album for the long-running children's music franchise. The Razor & Tie set also hit No. 2 with "Kidz Bop 9" in 2006 and "Kidz Bop 19" back in January of this year. The latter arrived with just over 70,000 sold.

Fittingly, 3 Doors Down [8]'s latest album, "Time of My Life," debuts at No. 3 with 60,000. It's the fifth studio effort for the band, but the first to miss the No. 1 slot since its second release, "Away From the Sun," debuted and peaked at No. 8 in 2002. Its third and fourth sets, 2005's "Seventeen Days" and a 2008 self-titled album, both arrived at No. 1. The latter set entered with 154,000.

Last week's No. 1, Blake Shelton [9]'s "Red River Blue," drifts to No. 6 in its second week with 47,000 (down 60%). One step above him is DJ Khaled [10]'s "We the Best Forever," bowing with 53,000 -- his best sales week yet. "Forever" also marks his third top 10 and his highest charting album, surpassing the No. 7 rank of "We Global" in 2008.

The final debut in the top 10 comes from veteran rock act 311 [12], as its "Universal Pulse" races in at No. 7 with 46,000. It's the eighth top 10 album for the band. All of its studio efforts have reached the top 10 -- save for 1996's self-titled album, which climbed to No. 12.

As for the rest of the holdovers in the top 10, Beyonce's "4" moves up 5-4 (53,000; down 26%), Jason Aldean [13]'s "My Kinda Party" falls 7-8 (43,000; up 2%) and Selena Gomez & the Scene [14]'s "When the Sun Goes Down" holds at No. 10 (28,000; down 12%).

Over on the Digital Songs chart, at No. 1, LMFAO [15]'s "Party Rock Anthem" keeps on partying with 209,000 downloads sold (down 3%) while Katy Perry [16]'s "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" climbs up one rung to No. 2 with 164,000 (down 4%). Nicki Minaj [17]'s "Super Bass" is also up, rising a spot to No. 3 with 154,000 (down 1%).

Two titles make big jumps within the top 10 as Hot Chelle Rae [19]'s "Tonight Tonight" zips 7-4 with 148,000 (up 13%) and Bad Meets Evil [20]'s "Lighters" (featuring Bruno Mars [21]) skips 12-5 with 143,000 (up 56%).

Reaching the top 10 for the first time is Britney Spears [22]' "I Wanna Go," which goes 11-9 in its sixth week on the list, selling 116,000 (up 26%).

Meanwhile, Pitbull [23]'s "Give Me Everything" slips 6-7 (127,000; down 7%), Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" is steady at No. 8 (121,000; down 7%), Lil Wayne [24]'s "How to Love" gets pushed down 5-6 despite a gain (139,000; up 2%) and OneRepublic's "Good Life" is stationary at No. 10 (112,000; down 2%).

Overall album sales in this past chart week (ending July 24) totaled 5.62 million units, up 1% compared to the sum last week (5.61 million) and up 6% compared to the comparable sales week of 2010 (5.29 million). Year to date album sales stand at 172.04 million, up 1% compared to the same total at this point last year (169.71 million). It is the ninth week in a row where year-to-date album volume is greater than the same time in the prior year.

Digital track sales this past week totaled 24.06 million downloads, up 5% compared to last week (22.92 million) and 14% stacked next to the comparable week of 2010 (21.04 million). Year to date track sales are at 731.03 million, up 11% compared to the same total at this point last year (660.57 million).

Next week's Billboard 200 competes with the same week in 2010 when: Avenged Sevenfold [25]'s "Nightmare" entered at No. 1 with 163,000, pushing the previous week's topper, Eminem [26]'s "Recovery," down to No. 2 (159,000; down 15%).
