Matthew Nichols Welcomes No. 1 to His Life

[/size][/center]

Matthew Nichols scores his first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 with his sophomore effort "Welcome to My Life", selling 88,000 copies according to Nielsen SoundScan in the week ending January 22. Nichols' previous effort "Live a Little" debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 in February 2011, selling 31,000 copies in its first week. The set went on to sell 172,000 copies in the United States.

Elsewhere in the top ten, the 2012 Grammy Nominees compilation debuted at No. 4 on the chart, selling 52,000 copies. The album featuring Grammy nominees Anna Thomas, Jake Sutherland, Kyle Carter, Radioactive, and Slim Shady, was released ahead of the Grammy Awards set for February 12.

Last week's top album Niall and the Misfits "Chemicals Collide" moved 1-2 with 86,000 (down 64%), Young Trev's "Capital Punishment" fell 2-3 with 79,000 (down 7%) and the "Bright Lights" soundtrack moved 6-5 with 45,000 (up 31%).

Mr. Whiz's "Domination" descended 3-6 with 39,000 (down 5%), Kyle Carter's "Yellow" moved 4-7 with 35,000 (down 10%) and Marley Groves' "Paper Planes" dropped 7-8 with 32,000 (down 4%).

Radioactive's "Nothing But Dust" fell 8-9 with 26,000 (down 15%). The group is set to perform at the Super Bowl on February 5. Expect an increase in sales in the coming weeks.

The Kellies advanced 13-10 to reach the top ten for the first time in their career with "Picture Perfect". Their debut set sold 24,000 copies (up 48%). The sales increase can be attributed to their fast rising hit "Pain".
