* – Maroon 5′s album, ‘V’ was given away as a free digital copy with every ticket bought for their tour through TicketMaster 2nd week, and the copies counted for Soundscan.
I didn’t include any NOW compilations since they always have low falls, and would’ve occupied like half this list. I also didn’t include a Help for Haiti compilation, which fell 16% 2nd week.
