Barbara Streisand Beats Paramore and Mariah Carey

The battle in the number one spot in the US album sales have been interesting since Paramore and Mariah Carey have been reported to be neck-to-neck with Paramore. Surprisingly, the David of the bunch, Barbara Streisand won the battle with 180,000 copies.

Paramore landed on the second spot with 175,112 while Mariah Carey was on the third spot with 167,912 copies. Barbara Streisand at age 67 is now tied with The Beatles on third place for the top 10 album first week sales.

Mariah Carey's Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel is a bad debut for the diva. Her previous album "E=MC2" debuted with 463,000. On the other hand, Paramore's third studio album "Brand New Eyes" is the band's most successful album to date. It even debuted #1 on the UK Album Charts.
