Linkin Park Beat Trey Songz To The Top Of The Charts

LINKIN PARK are back at the top of the album charts in America after edging out TREY SONGZ in a tight battle for the new number one.

Only 1,000 sales separates the two acts, with rockers Linkin Park’s A Thousand Suns selling 241,000 copies in its release week to claim the top spot.

It’s the band’s fourth U.S. number one.

R&B singer Songz debuts at two with Passion, Pain & Pleasure.

Eminem’s Recovery, Jamie Johnson’s The Guitar Song and Robert Plant’s Band of Joy round out the new top five.

Meanwhile, Bruno Mars has crawled to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart with Just the Way You Are.

Rihanna claims the number two and three spots on the new countdown - her Love The Way You Lie duet with Eminem stands firm at two, while her new single Only Girl (In the World) races up the charts from 75 to three.
