Pop Music

Not really a fight; I'm sure they all like each other very much and get along fine.

Anyway. Kelly Clarkson stays at number one with All I Ever Wanted. U2 moves back up to number two with No Line On the Horizon and the Twilight soundtrack whizzes back up from 14 to 3.

Newcomers in the top 20 include Gorilla Zoe's Don't Feed Da Animals at number eight, Twizted's W.I.C.K.E.D. at 11, The Decemberists' The Hazards of Love at 14 and Static-X's Cult of Static at 16.

The week's physical-record-sales-are-dead stats:

• Album units, current chart week: 6.1 million units

• DOWN 7.36% from last week's charts: 6.6 million units

• DOWN 30.6% from same week, 2008: 8.8 million units

• This week: No albums sell more than 100,000 copies.

• This week last year on the Billboard 200: Danity Kane's Welcome to the Dollhouse debuted at No. 1 with 236,000 while Flo Rida's Mail on Sunday began at No. 4 with 86,000. The previous week's champ, Rick Ross' Trilla, fell to No. 3 with 90,000 (down 54%).

• The No. 50 album this week, the Punk Goes Pop Volume Two compilation (Fearless), sold 9,000.

• The No. 50 album for the same week of 2008, Robert Plant & Alison Krauss' Raising Sand (Rounder), sold 16,000.

• Average total of the No. 50 album for the same week of the year during the past 10 years (2000-2009): 21,547.

The whole thing is here.
