Lady Gaga & Tony Bennett's album tops, while Jennifer Hudson flops...

Lady Gaga tops the album chart, but Jennifer Hudson only manages to scrape top ten.

Gaga and Tony Bennett's jazzy duets album 'Cheek to Cheek' sold a respectable 131,000 copies in its first week debuting at #1 on the Billboard 200. They also top the Jazz Albums and Traditional Jazz Albums chart making it the second #1 for Bennett and the third for Gaga.

As for Jennifer Hudson, she scores a #10 debut with her third album 'JHUD,' which moved a lackluster 24,000 units. Ouch! That’s a massive drop from her previous sales but at least 24,000 people supported. Me personally, could barely get through it never mind spending coins. In deed, a far cry from the 217,000 pushed with her self-titled 2008 debut and the 165,000 pushed with 2011′s 'I Remember Me.'
