Lily Allen debuts at No. 1
By
Senior Editor, JAM! Showbiz



Lily Allen

British pop singer Lily Allen made a great second impression on the Canadian album charts.

Her sophomore album, "It's Not Me, It's You," debuted at No. 1 on sales of 8,500 copies, according to data compiled by Neilsen SoundScan.

Her first album, "Alright, Still," only managed a No. 21 peak back in 2007.

Elsewhere, Nickelback's "Dark Horse" galloped from No. 3 to No. 2, the compilation "2009 Grammy Nominees" came up two to No. 3, while Bruce Springsteen's "Working on a Dream" slipped three to No. 4.

Lady GaGa's "The Fame" slid from No. 4 to No. 5, Malajube's "Labyrinthes" had the second biggest debut of the week at No. 6, and Jason Mraz's "We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things" occupied the No. 7 slot.

A few acts turned their big Grammy nights into chart success -- Robert Plant & Allison Krauss's "Raising Sand" moved up an astonishing 63 positions to No. 8, and Coldplay's "Viva La Vida" shot up 16 notches to No. 9.

Closing out the top 10 was Taylor Swift's "Fearless" at No. 10.

In the U.S., Taylor Swift came in first, followed by Plant & Krauss in second, India.Arie's "Testimony: Volume 2 -- Love & Politics" in third, the Fray's self-titled effort in fourth, and Lily Allen in fifth.
