AceShowbiz - Jay-Z's "Magna Carta... Holy Grail" is still unbeatable, as it stays at the very top spot on Billboard 200.

Fourth placer Ace Hood's "Trials & Tribulations" gives the rapper his best sales week and highest charting album as it sells 34,000. Going down from last week's No. 4 to this week's No. 5 is Florida Georgia Line's "Here's to the Good Times". The country duo's newest album has sold additional 31,000 copies.

Imagine Dragons' "Night Visions" sits at No. 6 with 28,000. Former first placer J. Cole's "Born Sinner" plunges from No. 3 to No. 7 with 27,000. The soundtrack to Disney's TV movie, "Teen Beach Movie", has made its way to the chart's No. 8 after selling 25,000.

Justin Timberlake's "The 20/20 Experience" climbs from No. 13 to No. 9 with 24,000. Rounding out the top 10 is Cody Simpson's "Surfers Paradise". The Australian pop singer's second LP sold 24,000 copies in its first week.
