Rapper Rich Boy entails behind at #3 with his self-titled album that sells 112,000 units. At no. 4 self titled album from old topper DAUGHTRY goes through a 3% decrease sale from 82,000 to 80,000.

Akon's "Konvicted" in its 17th week sits at no. 5 with 71,000. The album is the oldest Top 10 occupant. Neil Young's acoustic "Live at Massey Hall" bows at #6 with 57,000, while the British new rising star Amy Winehouse enters the chart at no. 7 through "Back to Black" with 51,000 copies sold. Just one position behind is the duo 8Ball & MJG that reach the number 50,000 through the duo's ninth album "Ridin High".

Fall Out Boy still maintains its authority in the Top 10 with the album "Infinity on High" that slip 8-9 due to the 26 per cent sales decrease to 43,000. Country star Carrie Underwood with debut album "Some Hearts" on other hand manage to grab the #10 after selling 42,000 units.
