Trey Songz's 'Trigga' Lands Atop Billboard 200
"Trigga" marks Songz's second album to top the chart as its predecessor, 2012's "Chapter V", also opened at No. 1 with 135,000 copies sold. However, the newest record posts Songz's smallest opening sales week for a full-length since "Trey Day" came at No. 11 with 73,000 back in 2007.
Next on Billboard 200, last week's first placer Ed Sheeran's "X" falls to No. 2 after selling additional 53,000 copies. Fellow British singer Sam Smith's "In the Lonely Hour" also falls one rung to No. 3 with 45,000.
At No. 4, Seether scores their fourth top 10 album with "Isolate and Medicate" which opens with a little more than 37,000. The rock band last visited the chart in 2011 when their "Holding on to Strings Better Left to Fray" debuted and peaked at No. 2 with 61,000.
The soundtrack of Disney's "Frozen (2013)" stays at No. 5 after selling 37,000. The album is currently in its 28th consecutive week in the chart's top 5.
MAGIC!'s "Don't Kill the Magic" enters Billboard 200 at No. 6 with just under 36,000. The pop/rock band's record has spawned the hit single "Rude" which has so far peaked at No. 2 on Billboard 100. At No. 7, Miranda Lambert's "Platinum" climbs from last week's No. 8 with 25,000. Lana Del Rey's "Ultraviolence" dips from No. 4 to No. 8 with nearly 25,000.
Robin Thicke's "Paula" comes at No. 9 with only 24,000. The sales are a far cry from his previous set "Blurred Lines" which opened at No. 1 with 177,000 last year. Rounding out the top 10 is Colt Ford, whose "Thanks for Listening" arrives with 23,000.
