The results are in, and Fantasia can’t be disappointed with the reception to her fourth studio album.
“Side Effects of You” landed at number two on the Billboard 200 this week. And it topped Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop albums chart.
Billboard reported sales of 91,000 copies, down just slightly from the first-week sales of Fantasia’s last album “Back to Me.”
Released in 2011, it sold 117,000 copies in week one, also landing at number two on the Billboard 200.
The response to Fantasia’s album is particularly welcome news because the lead single, “Lose to Win,” has been slow to catch on.
Released seven weeks ago, it just cracked the top 15 on the R&B singles chart last week. This week, it’s up to 14.
Michael Buble’s new album, “To Be Loved,” snagged the top spot on the Billboard 200 this week, selling 195,000 copies.
In other chart news:
* Tate Stevens, winner of Season 2 of The X Factor, saw his self-titled debut album land at number 18 on the Billboard 200 and number four on the country albums chart.
* This week marks the 52nd on the charts for Carrie Underwood’s “Blown Away.” And it’s still number 48 on the Billboard 200 and 15 on the country albums chart.
* Speaking of Carrie, her new single jumped six spots on the country airplay chart this week, from 30 to 24.
* The last two new album releases from former Idol contestants showed little staying power on the Billboard 200. Crystal Bowersox’s sophomore album was on the chart just two weeks; David Archuleta’s most recent album hung around for just one.
Now, the complete chart rundown.
