Managing to stay ahead of stiff competition from the younger generation, Lionel Richie topped the Billboard 200 last week with his country music inspired album “Tuskegee”, the 10th studio album of the 62-year old soul singer. The album sold 114,000 copies this week. Jason Marz debuted at No. 2 with his album “Love Is A Four Letter Word.”
The lead single of Marz’s album – “I Won’t Give Up,” went platinum after selling more than a million copies since its release in January, 2012. The album of beach inspired love songs sold 102000 copies in its first week.
“California 37” by the pop rockers Train debuted at No. 4 with 75, 000 copies, while Future, the new rapper debuted at No. 8 with his first album “Pluto” selling 41,000 copies.

“Boyfriend” by Justin Bieber and “Call Me Maybe” by Carly Rae Jepsen held the No 4 and 5 spots respectively for single digital tracks.
