 the final day of the tracking week (May 13) reflected in the new chart, it's not surprising to see Adele's mom-friendly "21" see a big gain in sales. The album rises 4-2 this week on the Billboard 200 with 101,000 sold -- up 31%.

The chart's highest debut comes from rock band Silversun Pickups, which sees its "Neck of the Woods" drive in at No. 6 with 41,000. It's the highest charting set for the act, but not its best sales week: 2009's "Swoon" bowed at No. 7 with a career-high 43,000.
One Direction's "Up All Night" spends its ninth straight week in the top 10, as it rises one slot to No. 7 with 40,000 (down 11%). Right behind the U.K. boy band is Jack White's "Blunderbuss," moving 7-8 with 34,000 (down 38%).
Rounding out the top 10 are Tank's new "This Is How I Feel," debuting at No. 9 (33,000), and Luke Bryan's "Tailgates & Tanlines" stepping 13-10 (26,000; down 1%). Tank's latest gives him his fifth top 40 set and third to reach the top 10. His last release, 2010's "Now Or Never," debuted and peaked at No. 35 with 44,000 that December.
Over on the Digital Songs chart, the top three are non-movers this week, led by Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know" at No. 1 with 321,000 (down 8%). The song, which features Kimbra, crosses the 4 million sales mark this week -- rising to 4.04 million downloads sold in the U.S.
At No. 2, Maroon 5's "Payphone" (featuring Wiz Khalifa) sells 293,000 (up 2%) while Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" is at No. 3 with 234,000 (up 12%).
Justin Bieber's "Boyfriend" rises 5-4 (165,000; down 4%), fun.'s "We Are Young" (featuring Janelle Monae) is down one to No. 5 (164,000; down 12%) and Nicki Minaj's "Starships" sails 7-6 (151,000; up 3%).
Flo Rida's "Wild Ones" (featuring Sia) is up two rungs to No. 7 (150,000; up 8%), One Direction's "What Makes You Beautiful" drops 6-8 (146,000; down 3%) and Jennifer Lopez's "Dance Again" (featuring Pitbull) zips 15-9 (104,000; up 39%). The latter benefits from J.Lo's performance of the track on "American Idol's" May 10 episode.
The Wanted's "Glad You Came" closes out the top 10 on the Digital Songs chart, holding at No. 10 with 95,000 (down 21%).
