Thanks to his performance on last week’s daytime talk show, Groban’s seasonal Reprise album Noel goes straight to the top of the HITS chart, with a total of 405k, a 77% gain.
That was enough for it to leap over J Records diva Alicia Keys’ As I Am, which nevertheless climbs past 1 million copies sold so far to land at #2 with 336k.
The debut album from 19/Jive/ZLG’s American Idol winner Jordin Sparks (#9) and Capitol Nashville’s Keith Urban Greatest Hits (#10) are the only Top 10 newcomers.
EMI’s Now 26 (#3), the exclusive Wal-Mart sale of The Eagles (#4) and Disney’s revitalized High School Musical 2 soundtrack, up #13-5 thanks to a Black Friday-inspired 141% rise in sales, dominate the rest of the Top 5.
Pearl Records’ Garth Brooks (#6), Arista Nashville’s Carrie Underwood (#7) and Jive/ZLG’s Chris Brown (#8) round out the leader board.
Other new entries include INO/Columbia Christian band Mercy Me (#15), Interscope’s Timbaland proteges OneRepublic (#16), Def Jam/IDJ’s Freeway (#42) and Disney’s Enchanted soundtrack (#44).
Re-entries include Beyonce’s Columbia album B’Day (#19), spurred by Wal-Mart’s aggressive $5 pricing and the release of her DVD The Beyonce Experience Live, which was merchandised side-by-side by the retailer.
New Line’s Hairspray soundtrack also returns to the charts (#37), thanks to the release of the DVD and a deluxe edition.
Leading gainers include A&M/Interscope’s Fergie (#39-26, +113%, thanks to her AMA perf), Disney’s Hannah Montana (#47-30, +107%), RCA/RMG’s AMA winner Daughtry (#48-38, +93%), Disney’s High School Musical (#44-35, +87%), Hollywood’s Jonas Brothers (#30-22, +84%) and BNA/SBMG Nashville’s Kenny Chesney (#43-36, +78%).

I'M STILL AT #40, Y'ALL? HOLLA!
blackout is sooo good, I don't understand why it's do so badly
i didn't buy her album, she needs to straighten herself up before she gets my money ~
im so ~jealous~ everyone has their cute little xmas icon :(
It's cool if you don't use it, I'm just so bored I had to do something
cool cone
its a shame bc she actually has a song out that is doing well....as opposed to any of the other idol rejects (ruben fantasia clay)
She's not promoting the album...why does everyone STILL have such high expectations a month after the album was released?
what an utterly dire top 10 too
One Republic, have you given Timbaland his blowjob of the week? He deserves it! If it weren't for him, Dreaming out loud wouldn't even be in the top 200.
I missed the Oprah episode. :(
It had Barbie Girl, MMMBop, Flagpole Sitta, Together Again, If You Could Only See, and other ~gems~ on it.
