Beyonce 's new two-disc set, "I Am ... Sasha Fierce," sold 482,000 copies during its first week out, giving the singer her third consecutive No. 1 album in the US--a streak that dates back to her 2003 solo debut.
Nickelback 's "Dark Horse" moved 326,000 copies and enters The Billboard 200 chart at No. 2 this week. Billboard bases its flagship album chart on Nielsen SoundScan retail reports.
The self-titled debut from "American Idol" winner David Cook checks in at No. 3 with sales of 280,000 copies, while Taylor Swift 's "Fearless" drops from No. 1 to No. 4 on sales of 217,000.
Il Divo 's "The Promise" sold 162,000 copies during its debut week, and enters the chart at No. 5.
Rounding out the Top 10 are the "Twilight" soundtrack at No. 6, the "Now 29" hits compilation at No. 7, the "High School Musical" soundtrack at No. 8, Enya 's "And Winter Came" at No. 9, and AC/DC's "Black Ice" at No. 10.
