He's Back! Lionel Richie returns to the top of the charts for the first time since his 1986 smash hit "Dancing On the Ceiling." Several TV appearances boosted sales of Richie's Tuskegee --his hometown -- and kept Adele at #2. Georgia native Monica's latest, New Life, went straight in at #4 and One Direction stayed at #5. Gotye had a huge week with his album jumping from #15 to #7 while his "Somebody..." single hit #1 on the digital sales chart with 542,000 downloads. That's the most in one week (even more than Justin Bieber's "Boyfriend") so far this year and the fourth best digital sales week in history. [Billboard]
