Rock band Evanescence have their second #1 album in a row this week although the first week sales are significantly lower than for their last release The Open Door. Metal band Five Finger Death Punch have their strongest opening yet with American Capitalist debuting at #3. With the opening of Lauren Alaina's Wildflower at #5, this is the first time the top 2 American Idol contestants for the current year have been in the top 5 of the album chart together since 2008.
