The Zac Brown Band's "Uncaged" debuts at #1 on the BB200 this week selling enough to enter this list at #52. They become the 7th act to have more than one album in the YTD Top 100 - their 2010 album "You Get What You Give" is #72 this week. The others are: Adele (#s 1& 12), Whitney Houston (#s 4 & 89), Black Keys (#s 15 & 77), Skrillex (#s 38 & 73), Maroon 5 (#s 31 & 57) & Florence + The Machine (#s 43 & 98).
"You Get What You Give" is one of eight albums on the list that also appeared in the year-end top 100 albums of both 2010 and 2011, the others… Taylor Swift's "Speak Now", Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream", Jason Aldean's "My Kinda Party", Mumford & Sons' "Sigh No More", Black Keys' "Brothers" & Bruno Mars' "Doo-Wops & Hooligans". Adele's "19" was in the YE top 100 of 2009 & 2011. "The Bodyguard" was in the YE top 100 of 1992, 1993 & 1994. The last albums to appear in 4 consecutive year-end top 100's were Carrie Underwood's "Some Hearts" and Nickelback's "All The Right Reasons", both on the 2005/6/7/8 lists.
The Maybach Music Group's "Self Made Vol.2" is the 2nd new entry on this week's list at #91and the "Project X" soundtrack returns to the top 100 at #100 - it last appeared back in week 18.
For the 6th time in as many weeks a new album will debut at #1 on the BB200 - next week it will be Nas with "Life Is Good". It's not forecast to sell enough to make next week's YTD top 100 but should get there in 2 weeks time. There will be a couple of new entries on next weeks list though: Frank Ocean's "Channel Orange" (#109 this week) and the Lumineers "The Lumineers" (#102).
