Meanwhile, up one spot to No. 2 with sales of 136,000 copies is Andrea Bocelli [ tickets ]'s "My Christmas," followed by Carrie Underwood [ tickets ]'s "Play On" at No. 3 with 128,000 copies, Michael Jackson's "This Is It" at No. 4 with 117,000 copies and Taylor Swift [ tickets ]'s "Fearless" at No. 5 with 91,000 copies.

Rounding out the Top 10 are the "Now 32" compilation at No. 6 with 68,000 copies, Michael Buble [ tickets ]'s "Crazy Love" at No. 7 with 58,000 copies, Flyleaf [ tickets ]'s "Memento Mori" at No. 8 with 56,000 copies, the "Glee" soundtrack at No. 9 with just shy of Flyleaf's total, and the "New Moon" soundtrack at No. 19 with 53,000 copies.
