Alicia Keys Debuts At #1 On Billboard 200

The numbers are now in and Alicia Keys comes out on top. Alicia’s fifth studio album Girl On Fire opens this week at #1 on Billboard 200 with 161k units sold. Even though these aren’t typical first week sales for Keys that hasn’t stopped her from her enormous promotional campaign supporting the album. The way Alicia is keeping the momentum going for this album she shouldn’t have any worries with keeping the sale consistent in the weeks to come.

In some not so great news Rihanna’s album Unapologetic has experience a 70% decrease in sales (ouch) with 72k sold. On the bright side at least she can say she has a #1 album now even though it took 7 to achieve this.
