One Direction tops the digital charts while Jackie and Cher debut in the top 10 on the album charts.
Mumford and Sons appear to be set to dominate the BB200 chart and Billboard wonders if Psy can take over the Hot 100 Chart from Maroon 5. America’s Got Talent’s Jackie Evancho and X-Factor’s Cher Lloyd seem set to debut in the top 10 for albums.
