The rest of the Top 10 includes Def Jam/IDJ’s Rick Ross (#6), Island/IDJ’s Justin Bieber (#7), Young Money/Cash Money/Universal Motown’s Drake (#8), Capitol Nashville/EMI’s Lady Antebellum (#9) and new entry Eleven Seven’s Buckcherry (#10).
Silver Arrow/Megaforce’s Black Crowes return with a two-CD acoustic album, Croweology, which enters at #11.
Other chart newcomers include Glassnote’s Secondhand Serenade (#36) and Atlantic’s Step Up 3D soundtrack (#38), while
