LOVATO ON TOP IN THE U.S. BUT LAGGING BEHIND JACKSON

Disney star DEMI LOVATO has bounded to the top of the U.S. album charts with her second album, HERE WE GO AGAIN.
The release is the fourth Disney Music Group album to hit the top of the Billboard 200 chart in the past year, behind hits by the Jonas Brothers, Rascal Flatts and Miley Cyrus.
But Lovato's 108,000 first-week sales lag behind those of Michael Jackson's 2003 hits album Number Ones, which sold 154,000 copies last week. The King of Pop's compilation is ineligible for the mainstream countdown.
Meanwhile, Daughtry's Leave This Town and Maxwell's BLACKsummersnight both drop spots to two and three, respectively, on the new chart.
