October 4, 201113 yr Adele already overtaking Lady Antebellum after 2 weeks and Tony Bennett after 1, just because her sales are holding up so remarkably well compared to every other album. I'm sure it'll be straight ahead of J Cole and blink-182 by next week as well. It seems its biggest challenge for just returning to #1 yet again next week is Scotty McCreery's album. Other new releases in the iTunes top 40 by Jack's Mannequin, Feist, Mayday Parade, Rodney Atkins, MuteMath, Lights, Mayer Hawthorne, blessthefall, New Found Glory, David Crowder Band, Indigo Girls, Styles P, Shane & Shane, Relient K, Cartel, We Are The In Crowd, Jason Boland & The Stragglers and We Were Promised Jetpacks (in other words almost the entire top 40 is new as usual - how does this happen without fail every week yet there seem to be so few new entries in the actual albums chart?)

October 4, 201113 yr Jason Derulo was never an album seller anyways, having some hits once in a while. A bit like Ke$ha, both more of a singles artist. Adele is repeating her continuous success in the US, a bit like her UK success, this album might even go and sell over 5 million+ in the long run or more :o
October 5, 201113 yr I thought GLORIA ESTEFAN would have done better considering its her first english album since 2003.
October 5, 201113 yr Jason Derulo! :o Was to be expected, though. Most artists suffer the "sophomore album curse". :( Don't Wanna Go Home was a dreadful song and 'It Girl', while 50x better, isn't really doing anything in the US either.
October 5, 201113 yr ~3.8 million Cartel, We Are The In Crowd, Jason Boland & The Stragglers and We Were Promised Jetpacks Who are these lol Being top 40 on iTunes album chart means something like 2-3k, in other words enough for charting but never a Top 100 let alone Top 40.
October 5, 201113 yr Who/what was the last German act to get a US #1 album? J Cole is pushing the definition of 'German' to its absolute limits but he still counts as German to me at least. Also, this is apparently the first debut album to debut at #1 since B.o.B's The Adventures Of Bobby Ray well over a year ago. In contrast, it's happened twice in the past 7 weeks in the UK with Nero and Ed Sheeran. (If you count Ed Sheeran's as a debut album of course, he had several independent releases before that, at least 2 of which actually charted) '21' has actually officially registered an increase in sales this week (of 1%) according to the Billboard report, which also gives its sales as 118k rather than 117k - I'm guessing this HDD chart is tallied slightly differently to the one that Billboard uses?

October 6, 201113 yr HDD is always a little bit out when they put up "final" figures which is why you have to go looking at the Billboard ones but then again HDD work on estimates so that's probably why Mastodon reaching the top 10 after Crack The Skye missed out last time at 11 :cool: would probably say Crack The Skye is a better album but The Hunter is damn good
