The companion soundtrack to Michael Jackson's international No. 1 movie claimed the top spot on the U.S. pop albums chart Wednesday with the fifth-best sales week this year.
"This Is It" sold 373,000 copies for the period of the week ended November 1, according to Nielsen SoundScan, more than expectations of an opening in the 300,000 and 350,000 range.
It marks Jackson's sixth No. 1 on the Billboard 200, and it arrives with his most excellent sales week for an album since 1995's "HIStory" open at No. 1 with 391,000 copies.
Jackson composed his first No. 1 with "Thriller" in 1983 and later notched toppers with "Bad," "Dangerous," "HIStory" and "Invincible." His 2003 furthermost hits set "Number Ones" is the biggest seller in the United States this year.
The "This Is It" film, which consists of rehearsal footage for a planned nationality in London, earned $104 million during its first weekend of global release.
Elsewhere on the Billboard 200, reunited rockers Creed debuted at No. 2 with "Full Circle," which sell 110,000 copies. It's the band's first studio let go since 2001, when "Weathered" started at No. 1 with 887,000 copies.
