Challenged by a group of modest debuts, Coldplay’s “Ghost Stories” and Brantley Gilbert’s “Just as I Am” retain the top two spots on the Billboard 200 album sales chart.<\/p>\n
“Ghost Stories,” which dominated the charts last week, again reigns supreme. It does so thanks to sales of 83,000.<\/p>\n
Gilbert’s album, meanwhile, adds 65,000 to its count.<\/p>\n
Responsible for the artist’s worst non-holiday opening sales week since 1990, Mariah Carey’s “Me. I Am Mariah…The Elusive Chanteuse” lands at third on the strength of 58,000 sales. “Frozen” follows in fourth place with a similar total, while Austin Mahone’s new “The Secret” EP claims fifth with 46,000.<\/p>\n
Other top ten albums include NOW 51 (41,000, #6), Michael Jackson’s “Xscape” (35,000, #7), The Black Keys’ “Turn Blue” (32,000, #8), Crowder’s “Neon Steeple” (22,000, #9) and Iggy Azalea’s “The New Classic” (18,000, #10).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[183,1047],"tags":[691,1747,1873,2410,1317,2144,1822,2348,375,2272,1916],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
