The Album Sales Review/Music Thread For 9/8/10: Nothing Disturbing About This Rock Group

For a group that doesn't get A-list attention, they sure do have a very accomplished resume :

Rock band Disturbed claims its fourth No. 1 album on the Billboard 200, as "Asylum" debuts atop the list with 179,000 sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

It's the act's fourth consecutive studio set to debut at No. 1, a feat achieved by only two other rock bands in the history of the chart: Metallica and Dave Matthews Band.

And guess what took the runner-up spot?

Disturbed's newest is one of five albums that debut in the top 10 this week. It's followed by the "Now 35" compilation, which starts at No. 2 with 105,000.

That's a surprise considering who ended up not even with the bronze medal this week, despite getting another #1 song:

Eminem's "Recovery" holds at No. 3 with 93,000 (down 6%). Last week's No. 1, Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream," slips to No. 4 with 88,000 (down 54%). Perry does, however, retain the No. 1 rank on the Digital Songs chart with that album's title tune, selling 221,000 (down 15%).

That's quite the drop for Perry, and her chances of going platinum domestically seem to be in serious jeopardy before another album comes from her.

The final six spots in the Top include Fantasia's "Back To Me" in 5th, Lyfe's "I Still Believe" in 6th, Goo Goo Dolls "Something For The Rest Of Us" in 7th, Justine Bieber in 8th with "My World 2.0", 9th is "Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam", and the rock band Heart with "Red Velvet Car".
