After sitting behind Jamie Foxx's "Unbreakable" at No. 2 for two weeks in a row, Mary J. Blige's "The Breakthrough" returns to No. 1 on The Billboard 200 this week. The Matriarch/Geffen release debuted at No. 1 the week of Dec. 28 and, despite continuing slow sales overall, reclaims the post by selling 118,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan, down less than 1% from the last week.

"The Breakthrough" is also back at No. 1 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart after being unseated last week by "Unbreakable" and has now spent three non-consecutive weeks at the top of that tally.

On The Billboard 200, "Unbreakable" obliges to Blige in a game of musical chairs, sliding to No. 2 after a 21% sales decrease to 103,000 units. This is the album's second stint at the No. 2 spot after debuting as runner-up to "The Breakthrough" three weeks ago.

"American Idol" winner Carrie Underwood's "Some Hearts" (Arista Nashville) climbs 5-3 with 77,000 copies, a small slip of 5% in sales. Eminem's Shady/Aftermath/Interscope retrospective "Curtain Call: The Hits" falls 3-4 with a 30% decrease in sales to 76,000 copies. The Notorious B.I.G.'s posthumous "Duets: The Final Chapter" rises 7-5 with 52,000 copies, a -29% change.

In its 40th week on the chart, Mariah Carey's "The Emancipation of Mimi" (Island Def Jam) sits tight at No. 6 despite a 32% dip in sales at 50,000 units, while Nickelback's "All the Right Reasons" (Roadrunner) rebounds 10-7 with 48,000 copies sold, a decrease of 18%.


Chris Brown's self-titled debut shoots back into the top tier 12-8 with 47,000 copies (-10%) while Black Eyed Peas' "Monkey Business" holds the No. 9 position with 40,000 copies (-10%).
