Taking over the #1 spot from U2 is the original American Idol, Kelly Clarkson, with her new album All I Ever Wanted. Coming in at #2 is The-Dream's 2nd album Love Vs. Money which pushed out 151,500 copies in its first week. And finally at #4 is J. Holiday's 2nd album Round 2 which sold 55,400. I'm gonna be honest with you, I didn't even know this had come out lol. I don't know who he's signed to, but they did a terrible job on promotions.
