It's like they don't even have to try.
veteran R&B group Sade debut HUGE on the Billboard 200 album chart this week, with their album Soldier of Love selling 502,000 in its first week, earning the group their second #1 album.
This is a crazy number for a group that has not released a new album since 2000, and barely promotes their music!
But Sade is definitely much more of a "album" band than a "single" band; meaning that they don't really rely on hit songs to sell albums. Sade has a huge following and have been one of the most consistent sellers over the last 25 years.
Lady Antebellum, last week's #1 selling artist, fall to #2 this week with only a 1% decline in sales.
here's a rundown of the top 10 album this week!
1. Sade Soldier of Love (502,000)
2. Lady Antebellum Need You Now (208,000)
3. Jaheim Another Round (112,000)
4. Lil Wayne Rebirth (89,000)
5. Josh Turner Haywire (85,000)
