Alicia Keys’ fifth album, Girl on Fire, came straight in at number one this week on the Billboard 100 chart. A healthy 161,000 units were sold in the first week of release, although eclipsed by her previous LP The Element of Freedom which sold 417,000 units in the same time frame. By most accounts, reaching the top spot on the Billboard 100 is still a great achievement. Congratulations, Alicia!
