Lady Antebellum scored the best sales week of the new decade so far as their second album Need You Know debuted at Number One on the Billboard Top 200 with 481,000. Need You Know, the follow-up to Lady Antebellum’s platinum self-titled debut, marks the first time the Grammy-nominated country trio has topped the charts. At Number Two, the Hope For Haiti Now was downloaded another 143,000 times last week according to Nielsen SoundScan, a mere 16 percent decrease from last week’s Number One total.
In its 66th week on the charts, sales of Lady Gaga’s The Fame increased 10 percent to boost the album into Number Three. Susan Boyle’s I Dreamed a Dream found itself outside the Top Two for the first time in 10 weeks by landing at Number Four, and Barry Manilow’s Greatest Love Songs of All Time debuted at Number Five with 57,000 copies. The release of the DVD for Michael Jackson’s This Is It helped bump the soundtrack from Number 17 to Number Six.
