AceShowbiz - After only managing to enter at the second place on Billboard Hot 200 last week, "The Twilight Saga's New Moon" soundtrack album finally moves to number one. Filled with songs from Death Cab for Cutie, Thom Yorke, The Killers and Muse among others, it pushes aside two-week champ Michael Buble's "Crazy Love" to No. 3.

According Nielsen SoundScan, "New Moon" album has sold additional 153,000 copies (up 33|percent|) in its first full week of release. Last week, it garnered around 115,000 after just three days on sale. It is the second soundtrack compilation to rule the U.S. albums chart this year, following "Hannah Montana: The Movie" album which reigned the chart after four weeks on sale.

Back on the chart, Tim McGraw debuts at No. 2 with his tenth studio album "Southern Voice". He claims the spot with 137,000 copies which marks his lowest debut sale week since his 1995 album "All I Want" entered No. 4 on the chart with 110,000 units sold. Though so, the selling number is enough to give McGraw his No. 1 slot on Billboard Top Country Albums.

Beside "Southern Voice", the other new entry on the chart is Joss Stone's "Colour Me Free!" which rounds up the Top 10 with 27,000 copies. Meanwhile, making a huge jump is Owl City's "Ocean Eyes" which leaps from No. 20 to No. 8 with 28,000 units.
