On Billboard Hot 200 this week, Michael Buble regains the throne on the U.S. album chart with his latest holiday effort first studio album “Christmas” which adds another 293,000 copies, up with 29 percent sales.

Adele climbs from number seven spot to number two spot for her sophomore album “21″ pulls in 144,000 copies, passing 4 million marks. Justin Bieber also raises the ladder from number six place to number three place with “Under the Mistletoe” album. Although climbing higher, the album actually suffers 11 percent decrease of sales by adding only another 133,000 units.

Drake holds firmly the fourth spot with his second studio effort “Take Care” which has sold 90,000 copies in its third week on sales. Entering the chart at number 2 last week, Nickelback have to go down to rounding up the number five spot, since their latest studio installment “Here and Now” adds only 78,000 units.

Next week, the race to number One will pit Buble’s holiday album over Amy Winehouse’s “Lioness: Hidden Treasures” and The Black Keys’ “El Camino” which both are aspiring to enter the top 10 position.

According to early guess from Nielsen SoundScan, the Canadian singer is expected to outsell the two competitors and spend a third week atop the weekly rundown.
