"Because of You," the sophomore set from Ne-Yo , sold 251,000 copies during its first week in stores, enough to give the R&B singer/songwriter his second consecutive No. 1 album.
Ne-Yo's debut, "In My Own Words," debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 album chart last February.
Crooner Michael Buble 's latest, "Call Me Irresponsible," debuts at No. 2 with 212,000 copies sold, according to Billboard, which bases its chart on Nielsen SoundScan retail reports.
"Snakes & Arrows," the latest from veteran rock trio Rush , enters the chart at No. 3 with 93,000 sold, while fellow Canadian Avril Lavigne 's "The Best Damn Thing" slips from No. 1 to No. 4 on 86,000 sold. Tori Amos ' "American Doll Posse" sold 54,000 copies during its first week out and debuts at No. 5, according to Billboard.
Rounding out the Top 10 are Miranda Lambert's "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend," Daughtry's self-titled debut, Blake Shelton's "Pure BS," the "NOW 24" hits compilation, and Carrie Underwood's "Some Hearts."
