After the horrible global album sales last week, there are at least two big sellers this week: rapper and producer legend Dr. Dre is the big winner with his new effort 'Compton', followed by 'Kill The Lights' from American country star Luke Bryan. Both albums sold much more than 300.000 copies. 'Compton' starts with massive 414.000 sales, 276.000 of it in the USA alone, another 45.700 in United Kingdom. Dr. Dre released many albums during the last 25 years, but only three regular studio albums: 'The Chronic' (1992) sold around 7 million copies to date, the second effort '2001' (1999) was the most successful Dr. Dre album so far with more than 10 million sales. 'Compton' is now the third, and according to Dr. Dre, his final album. Country star Luke Bryan bows at the vice-position with his fifth studio effort 'Kill The Lights' and 340.000 sales. His former studio set 'Crash My Party', arrived at no.1 globally in the week 35, 2013 with 557.000 sales and reached a total of 2,7 million to become his best-selling album to date. Last week's chart-topper, 'Super Very Best' by Japanese popular idol group V6, which started with 152.000 sales, throws down at no.42 this week with 15.000 sales, according to Oricon. Rounding out the top five are Ed Sheeran's 'X' at no.4 with 54.000 sales and Taylor Swift's '1989' at no.5 with 43.000 sales.
