Taylor Swift’s album “Fearless” (Big Machine) enjoyed its seventh week on the first position of the album sales chart, according to Billboard. Despite the fact that the album, the follow-up to the 19-year-old singer’s self-titled debut, sold just 63,000 copies last week, it still managed to beat Beyonce’s “I Am….Sasha Fierce” (Music World/Columbia) by 14,000 sales. The latter sold 49,000 copies. Canadian rock band Nickelback's "Dark Horse“(Roadrunner) slipped one place to Number 3 with 46,000 copies sold.
This is the first time that a record has done so since 2004, when Usher’s “Confessions” spent nine weeks at Number 1. "Fearless" also becomes the longest-running No. 1 album by a solo female vocalist since Alanis Morissette wore the crown for 12 weeks in 1995 with "Jagged Little Pill."
The week’s top debut was the soundtrack to “Notorious” (Bad Boy), a movie about the rapper Notorious B.I.G. The record, featuring tracks by Notorious B.I.G. as well as by Jay-Z, Faith Evans, Jadakiss and Santogold, took fourth place, with 43,000 sales. Kanye West's "808s and Heartbreak" fell two places to No. 5 with 40,000 copies.
Rounding out the Top 10 are the "Twilight" soundtrack at No. 6 with 36,000 copies sold; Britney Spears' "Circus" at No. 7 with 34,000 copies; Jamie Foxx's "Intuition" at No. 8 with only slightly less than Spears' total; Keyshia Cole's "A Different Me" at No. 9 with 31,000 copies; and "American Idol" victor David Cook's self-titled debut at No. 10 with just shy of Cole's total.
