Bon Jovi's "This House Is Not For Sale" sold 129,000 units to
give the New Jersey band its sixth No. 1 album, according to
figures from Nielsen SoundScan.
Keys, whose career is enjoying a boost thanks to her appearances
as a judge on the television show "The Voice," saw her studio
album "Here" reach second place with sales of 50,000 units.
The Billboard 200 album chart tallies units from album sales,
song sales (10 songs equal one album) and streaming activity
(1,500 streams equal one album).
The soundtrack from the animated movie "Trolls" rose from 39th
on the Billboard 200 last week to No. 3, with some 46,000 units
sold in the week. It features contributions from Justin
Timberlake, Ariana Grande, Gwen Stefani and Anna Kendrick.
Movie soundtracks for "Suicide Squad" and "Star Wars: The Force
Awakens" also have made the top 10 of the Billboard 200 this
year.
On the digital songs chart, which measures online singles sales,
Rae Sremmurd's September release "Black Beatles" took the top
spot, rising 16 places from last week due largely to the viral
success of the "mannequin challenge" fad in which the hip-hop
duo's music often as a backdrop.
People taking the challenge pose frozen in action while a music
video is recorded, and post the video on social media. Those
taking part have ranged from Adele and Beyonce to Democratic
presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
