Taylor Swift's 'Red' Still No. 1
Taylor Swift's "Red" reigns supreme for a
third week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, selling 196,000 according to
Nielsen SoundScan (down 43%). Swift beats the No. 2 title -- the
debuting "Now 44" collection -- by nearly 100,000 copies.
"Red" is the first album from Swift to spend its first three weeks at No. 1.
Her 2010 set "Speak Now" earned two frames atop the list from the start, and then dipped out of the No. 1 slot for five weeks. It eventually came back for four more weeks at No. 1.
Before that, Swift's one other No. 1, 2008's "Fearless," debuted at the top, and then slipped to No. 4 in its second frame. It returned to rule for another 10 non-consecutive weeks at No. 1.
"Red's" total U.S. sales now stand at 1.75 million.
