The second-highest debut belongs to Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers’ “Mojo” starting at No. Back on the Billboard 200, the top four slots house new entries for the first time since last December. 8 (112,000 up 46%), and 3Oh!3’s “My First Kiss” jumps two spots to No. 6 (142,000 up 42%), Drake’s “Find Your Love” climbs eight rungs to No. Mike Posner’s “Cooler Than Me” rises three spots to No. 1 slot with 337,000 (down 6%) while three songs in the top 10 make big gains. Katy Perry’s “California Gurls” retains the No. Drake also has the highest new entry on the Digital Songs chart, where his “Up All Night” enters at No. But let’s get back to this week’s charts. Industry sources estimate the album could rack up the biggest sales week of the year, as the set should sell at least 500,000 copies by week’s end on Sunday, June 27. Eminem’s “Recovery,” released June 21, is headed for the top spot next week with a very large sales figure. However, it’s looking like Drake won’t stay in the penthouse for long and that his big sales frame will be quickly eclipsed. 1 with 701,000 upon its release last November. And since both Lady Antebellum and Sade are groups, the start for “Thank Me Later” is also the biggest debut week for a solo artist’s album since Susan Boyle’s “I Dreamed a Dream” entered at No. The top two sales weeks of 2010 are owned by Sade’s “Soldier of Love” (502,000 off its debut week in February) and Lady Antebellum’s “Need You Now” (481,000 in its first frame in January). It’s the third-best sales week of the year for a single album. 1 on the Billboard 200, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Drake’s “Thank Me Later” bows, as expected, with an eye-popping 447,000 copies at No. However, we could very well see the biggest week of the year next week, when Eminem’s “Recovery” makes a likely bow at No. That’s the third-best sales week of the year for a single album.

1 on the Billboard 200 as “Thank Me Later” bows with 447,000 copies sold in its first week, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
