Country albums rule top three on Billboard 200

For the first time in three years, the top three selling albums in the U.S. are all country efforts.

Taylor Swift's "Speak Now" holds at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for a second week, Jason Aldean's "My Kinda Party" starts at No. 2 and Sugarland's former No. 1 "The Incredible Machine" slips one rung to No. 3.

Country albums last monopolized the top three rungs on the chart November 10, 2007, when Carrie Underwood's "Carnival Ride" debuted at No. 1, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss' "Raising Sand" started at No. 2 and Gary Allan's "Living Hard" bowed at No. 3.

Last week, Swift's "Speak Now" made a historic 1,047,000 bow. This is just the 16th time (since SoundScan began tracking sales in 1991) where an album sold at least 1 million copies in a week.
