Most people thought that Paramore or Mariah Carey would take the #1 spot on the Billboard 200 this week, but in a huge upset Barbra Streisand's new album "Love is the Answer" trumps them both to take the top spot, collecting her 9th #1 album.
The set sold 180,000 copies good enough to push her ahead of Paramore who's sophomore album "Brand New Eyes" comes in at #2 with 175,000. Carey's album "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel" BOMBS with only 168,000 copies sold. Her last album "E=MC2" sold a whopping 463,000 copies and although her latest single "Obsessed is a top 10 hit, it looks like fans weren't feeling the entire album.
This week the album chart see a record breaking 8 new entries in the top 10. Besides Streisand, Paramore and Carey, we see top 10 debuts from Breaking Benjamin, Alice in Chains, Madonna, Miranda Lambert and Selena Gomez.
