Reality TV sensation Susan Boyle has snagged the top spot of the Billboard 200 again, while this week's biggest and most controversial release falls incredibly short.
Boyle sold a staggering 582,000 copies this week to top the U.S. album charts, bringing her 3-week total to 1.8 million sold. With two weeks left in the year, she is close to surpassing Taylor Swift as the best-selling album of the year. She is expected to remain at #1 next week, even with stiff competition from Alicia Keys' fourth album The Element of Freedom.
Chris Brown, who sparked controversy over the weekend by accusing retailers of blackballing his album on Twitter (ironically, Billboard proved him false and afterwards, his Twitter was deleted) enters at #7 on the charts with Graffiti, selling around 101,000 copies. His last album Exclusive came in at #4, with sales of 294,000 copies.
Timbaland, the mega-producer who saw massive success with 2007's Shock Value fails to match it with the sequel. Shock Value 2 comes in at #32 with sales of 39,000 copies. The former came in at #5 with sales of 130,000 copies, and went on to go platinum.
