Mac Burns debuts atop album chart

Rapper Mac Miller's "Blue Slide Park" blew to the national music chart at No. 1 a week ago, marking the very first time an indie rap album has capped their email list in greater than a decade . 5. Miller's Rostrum Records release, handled by Universal Music Group's indie arm Fontana and digital distributor INgrooves, moved 144,000 models, based on Nielsen SoundScan data for that week ended November. 13. It is the first full-length through the Pittsburgh artist, whose mixtapes and single "Jesse Trump" have won him a sizable fanbase. Snoop Dogg's 1995 set "Dogg Food" was the final indie rap set to achieve the pinnacle. Digital side paid for for many of Miller's first-week tally: UMG stated 76% from the release's sales came via online merchants. Using the holidays nearly here, Michael Buble's "Christmas" (Warner Bros.) rose six positions to No. 2, moving 123,000 (a 38% gain). Two familiar franchises settled in to the top 5. The Capitol-distributed 40th edition of "Now That Is What I Call Music" first showed at No. 3 having a 119,000-unit bow, as the soundtrack for "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Beginning -- Part 1" showed up at No. 4, moving 105,000 as they are. Apparently impervious towards the development of digital track sales, the "Now" series has placed all 40 of their hit-producing volumes within the top ten because the series -- inspired with a like-named U.K. package -- managed to get to those shores in 1998. Current edition has been promoted in a single- and 2-disc versions. The Chop Shop/Atlantic "Twilight" package, which prefaced the week's opening from the 4th and penultimate installment of Summit Entertainment's vampire romance, was soft in comparison with other franchise debuts. Last year's "Eclipse" showed up at No. 2 having a first-week score of 146,000 the prior two "Twilight" soundtracks arrived towards the top of the chart. Adele's "21" (Columbia) sitting at No. 5, adding 104,000 more models (off just 3%) to the 4.4 million sales total. Two other debuts arrived at the very best 10 now. Romeo Santos' "Formula Vol. 1" (The new sony Music Latin) joined at No. 9 having a 62,000-unit frame it is the Dominican-American vocalist's first top-10 release. Operatic pop unit Il Divo's "Wicked Game" (Syco/Columbia) grew to become the U.K. act's fifth U.S. top-10 set, relocating at No. 10 with 61,000 moved. The week's top holdovers incorporated Justin Bieber's "Underneath the Mistletoe" (No. 6, 97,000 offered, off 54%), Susan Boyle's "Anyone to Keep An Eye On Me" (No. 7, 72,000, lower 46%) and Coldplay's "Mylo Xyloto" (No. 8, 70,000, off 32%). Album sales, already cooking with five albums topping 100,000 a week ago, should still roar, as albums by Drake, Nickelback and Daughtry along with a new "Glee" Christmas album all arrived at stores now.
