The “Glee” cast used the power of Madonna to rise to the top of the album charts this week.

“The Power of Madonna” disc, a compilation of the Material Girl’s songs sung on last week’s episode of the popular FOX teen dramedy, moved 11,000 copies in its first week on the charts.

The “Iron Man 2” soundtrack, also in its first week of release, finished second with 10,000 copies moved, according to Nielsen SoundScan figures. The soundtrack features AC/DC’s greatest hits, as well as lesser known and unreleased tracks from the band used in the upcoming summer blockbuster.

Justin Bieber rounds out the top three with his second offering, “My World 2.0.” The teen sensation fell from the top spot he held last week, though still managed to have 7,000 in sales. “World” has now sold 69,000 copies in the five weeks since its release.

Lady Antebellum’s “Need You Now” finished fourth this week, while Vigneault Gilles’ “Retrouvailles” held steady in fifth spot.

Nikki Yanofsky’s latest, “Nikki,” debuted in sixth spot, followed by Slash’s self-titled offering at seven and Lady Gaga’s “The Fame” at eight.

Rounding out the top 10 were Michael Buble’s “Crazy Love” in ninth, and the Black Eyed Peas’ “The E.N.D” in tenth.

Stateside, Glee’s “Power of Madonna” debuted in first, followed by Lady Antebellum’s “Need You Now” in second, Bieber’s “My World 2.0” in third, the “Iron Man 2” soundtrack in fourth, and Usher’s “Raymond V Raymond” in fifth.
