In a busy week on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart, Coldplay makes it three in a row with their latest album, Mylo Xyloto. The disc becomes their third consecutive # 1 album debuting with a big 447,000 copies and an easy win over fellow Grammy winner Kelly Clarkson whose Stronger debuts at # 2 with 163,000 copies sold. Clarkson nabs her fifth consecutive top three album. (Interestingly, her lowest charting album was Breakaway, her smash from 2005 that sold over 6.3 million copies in the U.S. but only hit # 3). There were three more debuts in the top ten from Michael Buble, Toby Keith and Tom Waits. For more on the album charts, head to Billboard here and take a look at the new top ten below.
