And for a 20th non-consective week, 6-time Grammy award winning singer Adele's
21 is at #1. Whitney Houston's
Whitney: The Greatest Hits sells 64,000 copies and re-enters the Billboard 200 at #6 due to a 10,419% sales gain since she passed Saturday. I guess it was only Michael Jackson that Billboard wanted to shit on with their bum ass "catalog albums" rule. (If you remember back in 2009 when MJ died
he dominated sales, but Billboard said his albums were considered "catalog albums" and weren't eligible for the Billboard 200 because they were over 18-months old and below #100. Fortunately, this rule somehow didn't apply to Whitney, whose greatest hits album dropped May 16th, 2000.)
Kelly Clarkson's
Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You) remains #1 for a 2nd week, and then things start getting crazy. Soaring 41-3 after their Chevrolet Super Bowl ad is fun.'s
We Are Young featuring Janelle Monae. Whitney Houston's
I Will Always Love You (which was #1 for 14 weeks back in 1992) re-enters the Hot 100 at #7 thanks largely to a 6,723% sales increase since Saturday. Madonna extends her lead for the most top 10s in Hot 100 history (she now has 38, the Beatles are the next closest with 34, followed by Michael Jackson with 28) as
Give Me All Your Luvin featuring Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. moves up 3 spots 13-10.
