Sugarland and Miley Cyrus duked it out for the top spot on the album chart again, this time with different results. Last week’s winner, Cyrus, dropped to No. 2, selling 163,000 of her Breakout, a reasonable 56 percent decrease.
Sugarland, the Georgia-based country-rock duo, moved 171,000 units of Love on the Inside, earning the top spot, with a smaller decline of 45 percent.
The latter act had some help from a unique release strategy. Last week, they put out the higher-priced deluxe version of their album; this week, they had the lower-priced standard edition out as well, which appealed to more bargain-minded shoppers. (Nielsen SoundScan is counting both the deluxe and standard Sugarland CDs as one album, in this instance.)
The Mamma Mia! soundtrack held strong at third, selling an ABBA-riffic 138,000, down only 18 percent. The sole sales bump among holdovers in the top 10 belonged to Kid Rock, whose Rock N Roll Jesus really is destined to keep selling “All Summer Long” (to reference the radio hit that’s driving sales).
