Three Way Battle for the Summit

[/size][/center]

Slim Shady's second album "Living Legend" returns to No. 1 on the Billboard 200, selling 76,000 copies (down 23%) according to Nielsen Soundscan. "Living Legend" crosses the 1 million mark while beating out competition from last week's No. 1 album, Nicki Lee's "Bipolar", and this week's sole debut, Blue Orchid's "Life Goes On".

Slim Shady becomes the first artist in history to have two albums sell over 1 million copies. "Living Legend" has sold 1,029,000 copies to date. His debut album "Mastermind" has sold 2,580,000 since its release on March 1, 2011.

Nicki Lee's "Bipolar" winds up in the runner-up spot, dipping 1-2 with 75,000 sold (down 69%). Blue Orchid's "Life Goes On" starts at No. 3 with 73,000. Their first album "Masquerade" opened at No. 6 with 101,000 in March 2011.

Travis Webby's "Young Forever" moves 3-4 with 56,000 (down 31%), Elle Hudson's "Wreckless Love" falls 4-5 with 55,000 (down 27%), and Kyle Carter's "Yellow" dips 5-6 with 50,000 (down 14%).

Young Trev's "Capital Punishment" descends 6-7 with 44,000 (down 15%), Mr. Whiz's "Domination" holds at No. 8 with 29,000 (down 18%), Jen Atkinson's "Brave & Crazy" falls 7-9 with 28,000 (down 35%), and Nate Nash's "Words I Couldn't Say" dips 9-10 with 25,000 (down 16%).
