Massive numbers for three Prince albums this week, and having five albums in the top 10 is the most ever by any artist, but it's Beyonce with the #1- her sixth out of six albums released. This one sells 652K units with 485K proper sales, less than her last album which sold 617K in just its first three days. Still better than '4' which opened on 310K, and even 'I Am...Sasha Fierce' which opened on 482K! Prince has 19 albums in the top 200, and Michael Jackson climbs in the chart yet again which is somewhat amusing, as does David Bowie. 'The Hits/The B-Sides' has a new peak at #4, originally peaking at #19 in 1993. 'Ultimate' seems to have a new peak too at #6. Several others achieve new sales peaks but not chart peaks.

The numbers after each album title are: Total units, % change, last week's units (if any), sales, track-equivalent units and stream-equivalent units.
