Michael Buble's "Christmas" album stays steady at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart for a third week, selling 479,000 copies (up 64%) according to Nielsen SoundScan. Its handsome sales are the largest for a non-debuting album since Susan Boyle's "I Dreamed a Dream" sold 510,000 in its fifth week of release over the Christmas holiday in 2009.
Buble's third week at No. 1 gives the singer his biggest chart-topper yet, besting the two-week reign of 2009's "Crazy Love."
At No. 2 this week is a new entry from Buble's fellow Warner Bros. act the Black Keys, with "El Camino." The band's album drives in with 206,000 sold -- immediately marking its best sales week and highest charting album ever. Its last album, 2010's "Brothers," debuted and peaked at No. 3 with 73,000.
The Black Keys' set is one of four new arrivals in the top 10 this week. Amy Winehouse's posthumous album "Lioness: Hidden Treasures," enters at No. 5 with 114,000 -- the late singer's highest-debuting album ever. She's only once previously visited the top 10, with her 2007 set "Back to Black." It initially debuted at No. 7, on its way to an eventual No. 2 peak following her multiple wins at the 2008 Grammy Awards ceremony.
Just above Winehouse is Billboard artist of the year Adele, with "21," down a slot to No. 3 (187,000; up 30%) and Justin Bieber's "Under the Mistletoe," falling one to No. 4 (158,000; up 19%).
Andrea Bocelli's "Concerto: One Night in Central Park" rises two spots to No. 6 (70,000; up 14%), Drake's "Take Care" descends three to No. 7 (73,000; down 19%) and Nickelback's "Here and Now" drops 5-8 (66,000; down 16%).
Rounding out the top 10 are two debuts: "Glee: the Music, Season 3: Volume 7" at No. 9 (58,000) and Korn's "The Path of Totality" at No. 10 (55,000).
For the "Glee" franchise, this is the lowest debut sales week of any of the regular "Glee" releases (volumes 1-7), and the third-lowest of all 14 "Glee" entries. Only the "Rocky Horror Glee" EP and "The 3D Concert Movie" soundtrack started with smaller sales, with 48,000 and 20,000, respectively. Still, it's the "Glee" show's 13th top 10 album overall -- only the "Concert Movie" set missed the region, debuting and peaking at No. 16.
As for Korn, "Path" is the rock band's 11th top 10 set. Their first came with 1996's "Life is Peachy," which rose to No. 3.
