Miley Cyrus trades places with the country act
Disney wunderkind Miley Cyrus' reign atop the Billboard cc ends dead after one week as country twain Sugarland outsold her by 8,000 units to claim its first No. 1.
Sugarland took the unusual step of releasing the deluxe edition of "Love on the Inside" -- featuring basketball team extra songs -- a week before the standard version arrived. Sales of both versions are unified together in Nielsen SoundScan's database and on Billboard's charts.
Meanwhile, Cyrus' "Breakout" sees a 56% sales drop from its debut week to domain at No. 2 in an other than uneventful frame on the big chart.
Christian rock lot Third Day has its best chart showing and biggest sales week with "Revelation," which begat a No. 6 bow. And "Kidz Bop 14," the latest kid-friendly reworking of recent pop hits, arrives at No. 8 -- marking the eighth straight top 10 debut for the series.
Elsewhere, Rick Springfield and Alice Cooper watch their highest-charting discs since 1985 and 1991, respectively.
Billboard's Keith Caulfield contributed to this report.
