Billboard Charts: Black Eyed Peas Reclaim The Top Spot
Posted by Mitch Michaels on 07.02.2009
Michael Jackson was the big seller, but Regina Spektor, Dream Theater, Ginuwine and Transformers still make their way to the Top 10...
The Black Eyed Peas reclaimed the #1 spot on the Billboard 200 this week with The E.N.D.. The album swaps places with last week's #1, the Jonas Brothers' Lines, Vines & Trying Times, which slips to #2.
Regina Spektor was the highest charting debut this week, scoring #3 with Far. Dream Theater, the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen soundtrack and Ginuwine also debuted in the Top 10.
As had been reported, Michael Jackson had the top three selling albums this week (Number Ones, The Essential Michael Jackson and Thriller), but none were eligible for the Billboard 200 charts because they are more than 18 months old and have fallen past #100 on the chart.
