Metallica’s new album “Death Magnetic” continues to thrive. The latest release from the legendary heavy metal band sold 132,000 copies during its third week, just enough to secure another No. 1 spot on the US album chart.

Demi Lovato’s debut was not as shiny as it could have been simply because it came during Metallica’s great album. The actor/singer/songwriter is this week’s No. 2 on The Billboard 200 as her debut album "Don't Forget" sold 89,000 copies. Lovato starred in Disney’s “Camp Rock” with the Jonas Brothers.

Back to Metallica; the living rock legends saw the number of sold copies drop 61 percent this week, but it was enough to keep them on the first place. “Death Magnetic” sold a total of 959,000 copies in its first three weeks.

Ne-Yo is this week’s No.3 with its latest release entitled “Year of the Gentleman” (Def Jam). The album sold 83,000. The other new albums which entered this week’s top 10 were:

No. 4 - Kings of Leon with “Only by the Night” (74,000 copies)
No. 5 - Pussycat Dolls with “Doll Domination”
No. 6 - Jazmine Sullivan with “Fearless”
No. 7 – Kid Rock with "Rock N Roll Jesus"
No. 8 – Joe with "Joe Thomas, New Man!"
No. 9 - Young Yeezy with "The Recession" and
No. 10 - Jonas Brothers with "A Little Bit Longer."
