The LP, released late last month, is the band's first to arrive under John Varvatos Records, Republic Records and Big Machine as they were previously signed to Atlantic Records.

The record features the singer's take on famous musical theater songs like "Bring Him Home" of "Les Miserables" and "All I Ask of You" of "The Phantom of the Opera".

At No. 3 is the "Furious 7" soundtrack which falls one rung with another 53,000 units. Tyler Farr is the third and last newcomer in Billboard 200's top 10 this week as his "Suffer in Peace" debuts with 42,000. Drake's "If You're Reading This It's Too Late" rounds out the top 5 with 37,000.

Behind Drizy's surprise mixtape, the "Fifty Shades of Grey" soundtrack is sitting at No. 6 with 36,000. Last week's first placer Alabama Shakes' "Sound & Color" plunges to No. 7 in its second week with 34,000.
