Album Chart: Coldplay again nabs No. 1 spot

Coldplay [ tickets ]'s "Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends" sold 249,000 copies during its second week out, plenty to give the set its second consecutive week at No. 1 on the US album chart.
The Nos. 2 and 3 positions on The Billboard 200 album chart also remain the same: Lil Wayne [ tickets ]'s "Tha Carter III" sold 209,000 copies to stay at No. 2, and Disney's "Camp Rock" soundtrack sold 169,000 copies to hold its claim to the No. 3 slot. Billboard bases its flagship album chart on Nielsen SoundScan retail reports.
