Lady GaGa is still strong enough at the top of the chart to hold off Depeche Mode's debut with Sounds Of the Universe. It remains Depeche Mode's strongest opening since 1997's Ultra topped the chart. Beyonce roars into the top 5 with her highest chart placing for I Am...Sasha Fierce on the strength of the single "Halo."
