'Dreamgirls' tops album chart, sales falling
A week after debuting atop The Billboard 200 album chart despite selling only 66,000 copies, the "Dreamgirls" soundtrack--with still fewer sales--is logging its second week at No. 1 on the chart.
The soundtrack, which spotlights performances by Beyonce and Jennifer Hudson , sold 60,000 copies during its latest week in stores, Billboard reports. With the showing, the album again sets the mark for the lowest album-sales total for a No. 1 album since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking US retail data in 1991, Billboard reports.
Akon 's "Konvicted" remains in the No. 2 slot with 55,000 copies sold, while Justin Timberlake 's "FutureSex/LoveSounds" moves up another notch to No. 3, on sales of 51,000, according to Billboard.
The self-titled debut from Daughtry slips one rung to No. 4, with 50,000 copies sold, while the Disney soundtrack "Jump In" moved 49,000 copies during its debut week in stores and enters the chart at No. 5.
Rounding out the Top 10 are Beyonce's "B'day," the "NOW 23" hits compilation, The Beatles' "Love," Young Jeezy's "The Inspiration" and Nickelback's "All the Right Reasons."
