Justin Bieber's "My World 2.0" album lands in the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 albums chart for the fourth time. 

 

Selling only 60,000 albums this landed Bieber back in the top spot. According to Nielsen's SoundScan, this is the second lowest week No. 1 sales.

 

What this says about the state of the music industry or album sales, I don't know. But this week's No. 1 in digital sales goes to Katy Perry's "California Gurls," saling 294,000 downloads.

 

I can't remember the last time I bought an album that didn't come from iTunes. The days of CDs seems so ancient to me now.

 

Anyway, congratulations Justin Bieber. I didn't buy your album or purchase a download, but....whatever.
