Daughtry - Break The Spell debuts at #8 on Billboard 200

Daughtry's third album 'Break The Spell' debuted on the Billboard 200 at #8 selling 129,000 units. Still respectable but down from the band's previous debuts on the chart.

Michael Buble's 'Christmas' was the #1 album last week beating Nickelback by a few units.

From Billboard:

In the tightest race for No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in four years, Michael Buble's "Christmas" rises 2-1 on the tally while Nickelback's new "Here and Now" debuts at No. 2. "Christmas" sold just over 227,000 -- ahead of Nickelback by a tiny 0.18% margin. "Here and Now" sold a bit under 227,000.

"Christmas" is the second holiday set to top the tally this year, following Justin Bieber's "Under the Mistletoe." The only other time we've had two Christmas albums reach No. 1 in the same year was in 1957, when Elvis Presley's "Elvis' Christmas Album" and Bing Crosby's "Merry Christmas" both reached the top. All told, Buble's "Christmas" is the ninth holiday No. 1 in the 55-year history of the chart.

Arriving in the No. 3 slot this week is Rihanna's "Talk That Talk," selling 197,000. It's the diva's sixth top 10 album and follows "Loud," which also launched at No. 2 a year ago (but with a bigger week: 207,000.

Last week's No. 1, Drake's "Take Care," falls to No. 4 with 173,000 (down 73%) while Mary J. Blige's ninth studio album, "My Life II: The Journey Continues, Act I," debuts at No. 5 with 156,000. Like Rihanna, every one of Blige's studio efforts have reached the top 10. Blige's last set, 2009's "Stronger With Each Tear," bowed at No. 2 with 330,000.

Bieber's "Under the Mistletoe" is pushed 5-6, despite a gain in sales (142,000; up 69%) while Adele's "21" also gains, but is forced backwards 3-7 (140,000; up 24%). This is the first time "21" has left the top five of the tally in its entire 40-week chart run.

Daughtry's "Break the Spell" is the fourth and final arrival in the top 10, as the rock band's third set starts at No. 8 with 129,000. Their previous two releases, its 2007 self-titled effort and 2009's "Leave This Town," both reached No. 1. "Town" started with 269,000 at No. 1, while "Daughtry" entered at No. 2 with 304,000, before hitting No. 1 two months later.

Rounding out the top 10 are Scotty McCreery's "Clear as Day," jumping 13-9 (88,000; up 165%) and Coldplay's "Mylo Xyloto," falling 9-10 (79,000; up 46%). Elsewhere in the top 20, we see new entries from Taylor Swift at No. 11 with her "Speak Now World Tour Live" (77,000), Big Time Rush's "Elevate" at No. 12 (70,000) and Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band's "Ultimate Hits" at No. 19 (50,000).
