A brilliant result for our artists this week in the US where we have four albums in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 chart, for the first time in nearly 12 years.
Landing at number one is Lady Antebellum’s second album ‘Need You Now’ which a massive first week sales tally of 481,000, the best first week debut of the year and the best result for a country music label release since 2008.
Also debuting in the top 10 is Corinne Bailey Rae’s ‘The Sea’ at number seven on the Top 200 chart with 53,000 units scanned; ‘2010 Grammy Nominees’, distributed by EMI, comes in at number 8, out-performing last year’s Grammy CD; and at number 9 on the Top 200 (and number 1 on the World chart) is Celtic Woman’s new album ‘Songs From The Heart’, scanning 42,000 units.
A fantastic result for all!
