  • Disney 'Descendants' Tops Billboard 200; Led Zeppelin, Drake Return to Top 10

    Another week and another soundtrack on top of the Billboard 200 as Descendants, the newest Disney TV movie, manages to get its musical half to no. 1. The compilation moved a total of 42,000 units, which was the lowest number of albums moved by a no. 1 so far during 2015. It may have been a slow sales week, but Disney's not going to complain about another high entry for one of its soundtracks (Teen Beach 2 cracked the Top 10 earlier this year). This is the fourth soundtrack to top the Billboard 200 so far during 2015-the most since 2009-as Descendants follows Empire, Furious 7 and Pitch Perfect 2. We'll see if another title joins that list by the end of the year.
