Females Rule Billboard 200


As expected, Katy Perry's sophomore album Teenage Dream debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 this week, selling 192,000 copies, earning her her best sales week ever.

Perry's last album One of the Boys debuted at #9, but went on to sell over a million copies, thanks to her massive hits "I Kissed a Girl", "Hot N Cold", and "Waking up in Vegas".

Coming in at #2 this week is Fantasia's new album Back to Me which moved 117,000 units. The set also debuts at #1 on the top R&B albums chart. It's nice to see her comeback after her suicide attempt earlier this summer, and her latest single "Bittersweet" is already a top 10 R&b hit as well.

Here's a rundown of the top 10 albums of the week:

1. Katy Perry Teenage Dream (192,000)

2. Fantasia Back to Me (117,000)

3. Eminem Recovery (98,000)

4. Usher Versus (48,000)

5. Little Big Town The Reason Why (42,000)

6. Kem Intimacy (30,000)

7. Justin Bieber My World 2.0 (29,000)

8. Randy Rogers Band Burning the Day (29,000)

9. Ray LaMontagne God Willin' and the Creek Don't Rise (28,000)
