It's official.
It's a Su-Bo world, we just live in it.
After one of the most heavily publicised chart battles of the decade, the almost BGT winner has unsurprisingly debuted on the top spot of the BB200, beating her competition by miles, and breaking records in the process.
She now has the highest first week numbers of the year (beating Em), second highest selling debut album of the past thirty years (only behind Snoop Dogg's debut - Doggystyle), with sales of an incredible 701,000 copies sold in the US alone. This is nothing in comparison to the 3 million she's sold in the past week worldwide, and the fact that she now has the highest debut ever for a female artist on the BB200 in the Soundscan Era.
Inhale...
Moving on, Andrea Bocelli is second place with 218,000 copies of My Christmas, while Adam's For Your Entertainment comes in third with 198,000 copies and Rhi comes in fourth with a slightly better than expected (but still largely considered a flop) 181,000 copies and Gaga rounds out the top five with Fame Monster (174,000) - although combined sales of both the re-release of The Fame and the new Monster come to a total of 325,000 - which technically makes her #2, but whatever. We'll settle for a hopeful Best New Artist Grammy nom).
Grammy noms posted up as soon as we get them...
