Miley Cyrus "Breakout" Album Tops Billboard 200

Miley Cyrus tops the Billboard 200 with her second No. 1 album "Breakout", which sold 371,000 U.S. copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Cyrus' album sales mark the second-biggest sales week of the year for a female artist, following the 463,000 debut of Mariah Carey's "E=MC2".

Cyrus' last album, the half soundtrack/half studio set "Hannah Montana 2/Meet Miley Cyrus" started at No. 1 last summer with 326,000.

The first "Hannah Montana" soundtrack, her first recording, also started at No. 1 in 2006, with first-week sales of 281,000. It went on to be the best seller of that year's fourth quarter.

Sugarland was second this week with the deluxe version of "Love on the Inside" (314,000), becoming the duo's best sales week and highest charting album ever.

"Mamma Mia!" moved 168,000 copies, remaining at No. 3 on The Billboard 200 for a second week.

Kid Rock's "Rock N Roll Jesus" moved from No. 6 to No. 4 with 93,000. Lil Wayne's "Tha Carter III" drops from No. 2 to No. 5 with 85,000.

Coldplay's "Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends" switches places with Kid Rock, going from No. 4 to No. 6 with 75,000, while the Jonas Brothers-led soundtrack to Disney's "Camp Rock" falls from fifth to seventh with 67,000.

After topping last week's Billboard 200, Nas' untitled album slips to No. 8 with 63,000.
