Metallica’s Death Magnetic is the best selling album in the country for the third week in a row, moving another 132,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Death Magnetic is only the second album this year to claim three straight weeks at #1, after Jack Johnson’s Sleep Through the Static managed the same feat in February. Metallica also held off budding Disney star Demi Lovato, who debuted at #2 this week with Don’t Forget, selling 89,000 units. Ne-Yo’s Year Of The Gentleman held on at #3, while Kings Of Leon scored their best charting and sales week ever as Only By The Night debuted at #4 with 74,000. The Pussycat Dolls’ sophomore set, Doll Domination, starts at #5 with 74,000.

The Top 10 also boasted two other debuts this week: R&B singer Jazmine Sullivan’s debut, Fearless, came in at #6 with 66,000, and another R&B singer, Joe, returns with Joe Thomas, New Man! at #8 with 54,000. The rest of the Top 10 was rounded out by Kid Rock at #7, Young Jeezy at #9 and Jonas Brothers at #10.

Other debuts this week came from TV On The Radio at #12 with Dear Science (their charting best), Jackson Browne’s Time the Conqueror at #20, Cold War Kids’ Loyalty to Loyalty at #21, Jenny Lewis’ Acid Tongue at #24 and David Gilmour’s Live in Gdansk at #26.
