Back to your regularly scheduled program.
Debuting at #3 this week is Bruno Mars and his first album Doo-Wops & Hooligans. The set sold 54,800 copies, which isn't bad considering it only has 10 damn songs on it. At #6 comes Waka Flocka's extra loud and tiresome debut Flockaveli, which sold 37,200 first week.
There's one newbie in the top 10 this week as Taylor Swift's Speak Now debuts at #8.
