Eminem's Relapse album is at the top of the sales chart for the second week in a row as it sold another 211,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan. With 819,000 sold in total, Relapse already has become the fifth best-selling album of the year. Green Day's 21st Century Breakdown remained at #2 this week, shifting another 75,800 copies. This brings the album close to Gold sales status in just three weeks. The Hannah Montana: The Movie soundtrack is still holding on strong at #3, moving 52,000, and Marilyn Manson earned a #4 debut with The High End Of Low, selling 49,000 in its first week. This gives Manson and his band their sixth Top 10 album.
Lady Gaga's Fame moved up from 8 to 5 this week by selling another 45,000 units as the album moves swiftly toward a Platinum sales plaque. Kenny Chesney's Greatest Hits II sits at #6, while the new album from Spanish language duo Wisin and Yandel, La Revolucion, bows at #7 with 36,000. Indie rockers Grizzly Bear had their best sales week ever as their third effort, Veckatimest, debuted at #8 with 33,000. The rest of the Top 10 was filled out by Taylor Swift's Fearless at #9 and Rascall Flatts' Unstoppable at #10.
Other debuts this week came from country duo Montgomery Gentry with For Our Heroes, bowing at #11 with 26,000. Christian act Hillsong United started at #21 with Across The Earth Tear Down The Walls by selling 17,600, and Mandy Moore's Amanda Leigh comes in at #25 with 15,600 sold.
