That holiday feeling drives continued action on EMI Nashville’s Duck the Halls and Wrapped in Red by RCA’s Kelly Clarkson, as well as titles farther down the chart.

ARTPOP ON TOP!

Lady Gaga Rules the HITS Album Sales Chart; NOW, Beatles, Jhene Aiko Bow Top 10

Rejoice, Little Monsters: Your goddess is #1.

Interscope’s Lady Gaga tops the HITS Album Sales Chart this week with 260k. The release marks the second #1 in a row for the label; last week’s champ, Eminem, took #2 in his second week with 208k (-73%); he’ll hit the million mark imminently.

Also debuting in the Top 10: UMe’s NOW 48 (33, 116k), The Beatles’ second BBC set on Capitol (#7, 37k) and Def Jam/IDJ’s Jhene Aiko (#8, 33k).

That holiday feeling—the same one that makes us want to stop in the middle of this sentence and binge on eggnog, preferably in a fetal position—drives continued action on EMI Nashville’s Duck the Halls (or, as we like to call it, Dungan Dynasty, #4, 65k, -13%) and Wrapped in Red by RCA’s Kelly Clarkson (#6, 41k, -3%), as well as titles farther down the chart.

Capitol’s Katy Perry (#5, 46k, -25%), YM/CM/Republic’s Drake (#9, 33k, -12%) and Lava/Republic’s Lorde (#10, 32k, -7%) also grace the Top 10.

The week’s greatest gainer: Nettwerk/Warner Bros.Passenger, which vaults from 50-31 (+38%).

Streeting at presstime are Prospect Park’s Five Finger Death Punch, RCA/Republic’s The Hunger Games: Catching Fire soundtrack and RCA’s Daughtry, not to mention Capitol’s Frank Sinatra. Coming on 11/25: SYCO/Columbia’s One Direction, while RCA’s Britney Spears comes on 12/3.

Now pour us a goddamn glass of holiday cheer already.
