Billboard Charts: Susan Boyle Still On Top

Posted by Mitch Michaels on 12.16.2009

Plus Glee, Gucci Mane and how did Chris Brown fare?

Susan Boyle holds the #1 spot on the Billboard 200 for a third week with another 582,000 copies sold - up from last week. With a couple of weeks left in the year, Boyle's I Dreamed A Dream could compete with Taylor Swift's Fearless for best selling album of 2009. Boyle's is the longest stay at #1 since Fearless, which spent seven weeks on top at the beginning of the year. The album is the fastest selling since 50 Cent's The Massacre in 2003.

Glee: The Music, Volume 2 debuts at #3 this week with 173,000 copies sold. It's the second Glee soundtrack to hit the Top 10 this season, as Volume 1 debuted at #4 in November. The release of Volume 2 helped push Volume 1 back up the charts as well, as it stands at #11 this week.

Chris Brown's Graffiti debuts at #7 with 102,000, nearly a third of the first week sales of 2007's Exclusive, which debuted at #4.

Gucci Mane took his major label debut, The State Vs. Radric Davis, to #10 this week with 90,000 copies.
