Let’s Head to the Top

When you make predictions, there’s always this chance that it won’t come true. But in the case of Alicia Keys, it did come true and was even better than we thought.

The Soundscan numbers are in and Alicia’s new album ‘As I Am’ sold 742,426 copies in the US since it debuted last week. That’s amazing! What’s even more amazing is that it sold three times as many copies as the #2 disc sold.

Josh Groban took the second spot with his Christmas album ‘Noel’ which sold 223,306 copies even though it’s been out for a few weeks already. Celine Dion’s ‘Taking Chances’ took 3rd by selling 214,381 copies.
