Justin Bieber’s Never Say Never – The Remixes Tops Billboard Chart

In a week that saw plenty of post-Grammy sales bumps, it’s Bieber who reigns supreme. By James Montgomery Justin Bieber Photo: Mark Von Holden/ WireImage In a week in which the post- Grammy sales boom finally took hold, sending several long-dormant albums rocketing back up the charts, it was the kid who got shut out at the big show who ended up topping the charts. Justin Bieber ‘s Never Say Never – The Remixes debuts at #1 on next week’s Billboard top 200 albums chart, giving the pop star the second chart-topping bow of his young career. The album sold more than 161,000 copies, easily surpassing Mumford & Sons ‘ breakout Sigh No More , which benefited from the group’s Grammy-night performance with Bob Dylan (and the Avett Brothers ), selling nearly 133,000 copies — a 169 percent increase in sales from the previous week — to hold steady at #2. Former chart champ the Now 37 compilation lands at #3, with sales of nearly 95,000 copies, and Lady Antebellum — who not only performed at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards , but took home the awards for Record of the Year and Song of the Year — posted a 205 percent sales jump, selling more than 85,000 copies to snag the #4 spot. Grammy winner and performer Bruno Mars ‘ Doo-Wops & Hooligans sold nearly 61,000 copies (a 55 percent burst in sales) to come in at #5, followed by a host of other Grammy beneficiaries: Eminem ‘s Recovery at #6 (nearly 61,000 copies sold), the 2011 Grammy Nominees compilation (#7, nearly 56,000 copies sold), Bieber’s My World, 2.0 (#8, more than 54,000 copies), and Nicki Minaj ‘s Pink Friday (#9, nearly 46,000 copies). Rihanna ‘s Loud rounds out the top 10, with sales of more than 45,000 copies sold. That Grammy bump continues outside the top 10 too, starting with Katy Perry ‘s Teenage Dream, which, thanks to her Grammy performance , jumped 30 percent in sales, moving nearly 42,000 units to land at #11. Surprise Album of the Year winners Arcade Fire ‘s The Suburbs posted a 238 percent sales jump to come in at #12, selling more than 40,000 copies … and moving past the 500,000 mark in total sales as a result. Other winners and performers who leapt up the charts include Florence and the Machine , whose Lungs moved from #28 to #19; Cee Lo Green ‘s The Lady Killer (from #53 to #22); Lady Gaga ‘s The Fame (from #35 to #23); and the Black Keys ‘ Brothers , which posted a 25 percent sales jump to grab the #24 spot. Aside from Bieber’s Never Say Never, other notable Billboard debuts include Bright Eyes ‘ The People’s Key, which opened at #12 with sales of nearly 41,000 copies, Hillsong United ‘s Aftermath (#17, with sales of more than 27,000 copies), Ginuwine ‘s Elgin (#30, with sales of more than 19,000 copies), and PJ Harvey ‘s Let England Shake, which bows at #32 with sales of nearly 18,000.

Bonnaroo 2010 Lineup Includes Weezer, the Flaming Lips, Phoenix

Norah Jones, Wale, Flaming Lips, the xx also announced in gradual MySpace reveal. By James Montgomery Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo Photo: Chris Weeks/ WireImage Weezer, the Flaming Lips and Phoenix are among the first batch of artists confirmed for the 2010 Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, to be held June 10-13 in — as always — Manchester, Tennessee. Artists are being announced in a series of rolling reveals that will continue throughout the day on Bonnaroo’s MySpace page . Tickets for the fest are on sale now through its official site , with a four-day pass running $234.50. An RV pass (if you want to experience the fest in luxury) will cost an extra $150. As in previous years, Bonnaroo is also offering attendees the opportunity to purchase tickets on an installment plan. Other early confirmations for Bonnaroo 2010 are Norah Jones, comedian/ Grammy-winning bluegrass enthusiast Steve Martin (with his Steep Canyon Rangers), Wale, Regina Spektor, John Fogerty, the Avett Brothers, Medeski, Martin and Wood, Ingrid Michaelson, Bassnectar and hotly tipped Brits the xx. The Flaming Lips will be joined by Stardeath and the White Dwarves (the band fronted by Lips’ main man Wayne Coyne’s nephew) and — much like they did in a raucous Oklahoma City New Year’s Eve show — the groups will be performing Pink Floyd’s epic Dark Side of the Moon album. News of Weezer’s confirmation actually leaked earlier in the day, when the band tweeted that they would be performing at the 2010 ‘Roo. Through various online sources, the fest’s other rumored acts include Jay-Z, the Dave Matthews Band and Georgia metallers Baroness. But the only way to get the latest confirmations is to head over to Bonnaroo’s MySpace page, where a new band is being announced every five minutes.
