Beyonce Knowles’ latest album, Beyonce, is spending its second week on the top slot of Billboard 200. According to Nielsen SoundScan, the singer’s fifth record has sold an additional 374,000 copies.
With its release on December 13, the 14-song and 17-music video set sold 617,000 copies in its first three days. It subsequently opened at No. 1 on the chart and gave the former Destiny’s Child member her best sales week.
After selling a total of 991,000 copies in only 10 days, Beyonce is currently at No. 12 on the list of biggest-selling albums of 2013. With one more tracking week left, the follow-up to 2011’s 4 will likely join the list’s top 10.
Also retaining its position is Garth Brooks’ Blame It All on My Roots. The country superstar’s newest box set stays at No. 2 with 199,000. One Direction’s Midnight Memories, meanwhile, ascends to No. 3 with 166,000.
The Robertson’s Duck the Halls: A Robertson Family Christmas rises to No. 4 with 132,000 while Kelly Clarkson’s Wrapped in Red falls to No. 5 with 124,000.
Going up from last week’s No. 8, Eminem’s MMLP2 rounds out the top 5 with 115,000. Also jumping two rungs, Katy Perry’s Prism and the sound track of Disney animated movie Frozen (2013) sit at No. 7 and No.8 with 99,000 and 81,000, respectively.
