The Charts: Beyonce Holds On To Top 5, While Rock, Country Take Top Spots

Another slow week on the Billboard 200 albums chart, as new and recent releases by The Fray, Bruce Springsteen, and country singer Dierks Bentley claim the top few spots.

But, rounding out the top 5 is Beyonce, as her I Am ... Sasha Fierce album continues to push units, 51,000 to be exact. After three months on the charts, the solo album is nearing the 1.8 million mark.

Later down the line, Jamie Foxx's Intuition slides to no 8, selling 37,000 copies this week; while Kanye West's 808s and Heartbreak slips to no. 9 with 34,000 copies sold.

And to round out the top 10 is Keyshia Cole's A Different Me, selling just under 34,000 copies, up 8% from last week.

As far as new releases, Rhymesayers Entertainment Doomtree member, P.O.S., has dropped his punk/rap effort titled Never Better. The album showed up at no. 106, selling over 6,000 copies.

According to Billboard.com, sales are up 12.5% compared to the same total last week but are off by 13.1% compared to the same week in 2008.
