For the first time in his 25+ years on the pop charts, Prince has an album debut at the top. It is his 4th #1 album overall but the first to open at the peak. A well-timed American Idol performance lands Barry Manilow back in the top 5. Teenage singer Teddy Geiger has a promising debut inside the top 10 at #8.
