Radioactive Leave 'Nothing But Dust' in Return to No. 1

[/size][/center]

In the week following their Super Bowl performance, Radioactive surged 320% in sales according to Nielsen SoundScan. In the week ending February 12, "Nothing But Dust" sold 284,000 copies in the United States. This marks the best sales week in 2012 and the best sales week for "Nothing But Dust" to date.

Halftime performance guests Erica Posey and Jamie Aldeon also saw significant sales increases after their major exposure this past week. Posey's self-titled effort "Erica Posey" moved 23-12 with 28,000 (up 173%) and Aldeon's "Bring It On" surged 53-16 with 17,000 (up 216%).

After the release of a special edition of "McThrill" on Tuesday, Kate McGill soared 19-2 on the chart with 81,000 (up 563%). This matches the album's original peak of No. 2 when it was released in its original form in April 2011. To date, the album has sold 1.7 million copies.

Young Trev's "Capital Punishment" fell 1-3 with 75,000 (up 2%), Kyle Carter's "Yellow" held at No. 4 (53,000; up 16%), Mr. Whiz's "Domination" rose 6-5 with 42,000 (up 5%) and Niall and the Misfits dropped 3 to No. 6 (41,000; down 24%).

The Kellies' "Picture Perfect" rose 10-7 with 36,000 (up 28%), Marley Groves' "Paper Planes" held at No. 8 (35,000; up 6%), the "Bright Lights" soundtrack" fell 5-9 with 33,000 (down 19%) and the "2012 Grammy Nominees" compilation rounded out the top ten with 32,000, selling roughly the same as last week.
