Canadian alternative rock group Arcade Fire scored its second No. 1 record by knocking pop singer Katy Perry off the top spot of the weekly Billboard 200 album chart on Wednesday.
"Reflektor," the fourth studio album from Arcade Fire, sold 140,000 copies in its first week according to figures from Nielsen SoundScan. Perry's "Prism," which debuted at No. 1 last week, dropped to No. 2 with second week sales of 92,000 units.
Two holiday albums made their debuts this week in the top 10 of the Billboard 200, which measures physical and digital album sales. "American Idol" winner Kelly Clarkson landed at No. 3 with her Christmas set "Wrapped in Red" while A&E's "Duck Dynasty" reality show stars the Robertson family came in at No. 4 with their novelty festive album "Duck The Halls: A Robertson Family Christmas."
Other debuts in the Billboard 200 top 10 albums include country singers Thomas Rhett with his self-titled record at No. 6 and Toby Keith at No. 7 with "Drinks After Work," and rockers Linkin Park at No. 10 with "Recharged."
