Nas' Untitled Album Tops Billboard 200, Dethrones Lil Wayne

Nas' latest album tops this week's Billboard 200, dethroning Lil Wayne's "Tha Carter III," according to Nielsen SoundScan on Wednesday.

Nas' untitled album sold 187,000 copies in its opening week, giving the Queens rapper his fifth No. 1 album. His last album, "Hip Hop Is Dead," also debuted at No. 1 but sold 354,000 over Christmas week.

Meanwhile, after three non-consecutive weeks at No. 1, "Tha Carter III" slips to No. 2 with 105,000 copies sold.

The Decca soundtrack to "Mamma Mia!," the musical starring Meryl Streep, climbed from No. 7 to No. 3, selling 91,000 copies as sales boosted after the movie was released Friday. The film "Mamma Mia!" had the highest opening weekend for a musical in movie history.

Coldplay's "Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends" slips from second to fourth with 90,000, while the Jonas Brothers-led soundtrack to Disney's "Camp Rock" descends from third to fifth with 78,000.
