Bruce Springsteen may have ended Adele’s 23-week non-consecutive reign at #1 with the chart-topping debut of his new album, Wrecking Ball, but the real winner is
The Boss’ total of 201k was enough to turn back Adele’s 192k, with the rest of the Top 5 dominated by three Capitol/EMI titles on sale for 25 cents at Google and Amazon in Now 41 (#5-3, +269%), Capitol Nashville’s Lady Antebellum (#23-4, +519%) and Coldplay (#25-5, +467%).
RCA’s Whitney Houston Greatest Hits (#6) shared the Top 10 with two other sale titles, both from the Young Money/Cash Money/Universal Republic label in Drake (#11-7, +127%) and Lil Wayne (#42-8, +189%).
The rest of the leader board is completed by Capitol Nashville/EMI’s Luke Bryan EP, which enters at #9 and XL/Columbia’s Adele debut, 19 (#10).
Mom + Pop/RED’s Andrew Bird (#17), and Nickelodeon/Columbia’s Big Time Rush soundtrack (#41) are the only other chart newcomers.
Among the re-entries benefiting from online sale prices are Interscope’s Lana Del Rey (#31) and Glassnote’s Mumford & Sons (#32), while Mercury Nashville/Interscope’s Scotty McCreery (#43), Warner Bros. Nashville’s Blake Shelton (#46) and Big Machine’s Taylor Swift (#47) all returned to the chart.
Other double-digit gainers include Watertower Music’s Project X soundtrack (#19-11, +43%), Fairfax/Universal Republic’s Gotye (#14-12, +19%), Capitol Nashville/EMI’s Eric Church (#44-27, +18%) and Nonesuch/WB’s The Black Keys (#28-24, +11%).
This week, Syco/Columbia X Factor U.K. finalists One Direction and Columbia’s Ting Tings hit retail, with Columbia’s The Shins and Big Machine/Universal Republic’s The Hunger Games soundtrack coming March 20.
