This week two veteran acts square off to battle for #1 and the winner is rock band Linkin Park who earn their fourth consecutive #1 studio album with Living Things. Just behind is Maroon 5 who have a strong improvement in sales over their last release, and Overexposed matches that album's chart peak at #2. Opening at #5 is R&B singer R. Kelly with his phenomenal 11th consecutive top 10 studio album. Only one of those has missed the top 5.
