January 8, 200916 yr It was the week after Christmas. What do you expect? No major releases at all. Sales were huge before Christmas so of course they're going to see a big slump! The majority of people who wanted the albums in the top probably already have them! :lol: The US doesn't have big discount sales across the entire country to drive up album sales like the UK does.
