I've noticed a big difference between soundscan and billboard for Lady Antebellum.

 

Soundscan has the album re-entering at #190, position (above), but Billboard has it re-entering at #152.

 

There are usually one or two albums that differ between ss and bb by 1 place, but not 38 places.

If my calculations are correct, that puts her at 19,738,077 total album sales in US. Probably cross 20million this week. So proud of Tay Tay <3

She released 3 EP: THE HOLIDAY COLLECTION, Rhapsody Originals and Beautiful Eyes. I'm pretty sure that RO and BE sold more than 262k copies copies.

Ouch big drop for Ke$ha
