Taylor Swift once again has the number one album. "Speak Now" remains at the top of the Billboard 200, marking its second consecutive week -- and fourth week overall -- in the peak position. Christmas shoppers helped Swift keep her reign over the all-genre chart, with 276-thousand copies of "Speak Now" flying off the shelves last week. Following Swift at number two is Susan Boyle's "The Gift," with sales of 240-thousand. The "Glee" Christmas album sold 160-thousand copies, which puts it in the number three spot. Jackie Evancho's "O Holy Night" and Michael Jackson's "Michael" round out the top five.
Jamie Foxx has the highest debut of the week, with "Best Night of My Life" arriving at number six with sales of 144-thousand. Eminem's "Recovery" moved 137-thousand copies, which is a 100-percent sales increase over the previous week, and enough to take the seventh spot on the chart. Nicki Minaj's "Pink Friday," Keyshia Cole's "Calling All Hearts," and Rihanna's "Loud" round out the top ten.
