Zac Brown Band, Frank Ocean Debut at Nos. 1 & 2 on Billboard 200 Country group Zac Brown Band nets its second No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 as "Uncaged" starts with a larger-than-expected 234,000 sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan. It earns the act its best sales week yet, trumping the 153,000 that "You Get What You Give" sold in its debut frame in 2010. Some industry sources had thought the album was going to launch with perhaps 220,000, but the album did better that forecasted over the weekend. The number was aided by two significant TV performance on CBS' "The Late Show With David Letterman" (July 11) and NBC's "Today" (July 13). Also amplifying "Uncaged's" number was Amazon MP3, which sale priced the set for the entire week at $3.99. While SoundScan does not break out how many copies are at a specific retailer, some sources suggest that Amazon may have contributed around 25,000 to 30,000 of "Uncaged's" debut frame. "Uncaged" tallies the second biggest sales week this year for a country album. Only Carrie Underwood's "Blown Away" moved more in a week, when it arrived at No. 1 with 267,000 on the chart dated May 19. Further, in 2011, only one country album sold more than 200,000 in a single week: Lady Antebellum's "Own the Night," which bowed with 347,000 on Oct. 1. 全文: http://goo.gl/yqqKi --
