The Civil Wars' Self-Titled Album Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard 200 Despite 'Indefinite Hiatus': 'Now 47,' Robin Thicke 'Blurred Lines' Also Top Chart [VIDEOS]

Though they may be on an "indefinite hiatus," that does not mean The Civil Wars are indefinitely unsuccessful. The "One That Got Away" band's second studio album, the self-titled "The Civil Wars" has debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

According to Billboard, the honest, heartbreaking album sold 116,000 copies in its first week. Though the band has barely been promoting the new record due to their hiatus, the female half of the duo Joy Williams has been giving some interviews to the press. Due to the hiatus, though, there have been no live performances, no plans for a tour and John Paul Williams has remained notably silent about the record and has not talked to the media. However, it's likely that the drama surrounding "The Civil Wars" helped to catapult the record to the top spot, in addition to its rich music.

"Now 47," which features hits like Justin Timberlake's "Mirrors," Bruno Mars' "If I Was Your Man" and Taylor Swift's "22" debuted at No. 2, moving 82,000 units in its first week.

Though its slightly surprising that a compilation album of Top 40 hits would sell so well in today's singles market, Billboard reports that all but the first "Now" CD have debuted in the top 10 of the Billboard 200.

Other debuts on the top part of the album chart include Asking Alexandra's "From Death to Destiny" at No. 6 (about 38,000 copies) and gospel singer Tye Tribbet's "Greater Than," which achieved the No. 9 spot with 30,000 records.

The rest of the Billboard 200 top 10 is familiar fare. Last week's No. 1 album Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" fell to No. 3 (65,000 copies), Jay Z's two-week topper "Magna Carta Holy Grail" slipped one spot to No. 4 (48,000 copies) and the "Teen Beach Movie" soundtrack is at No. 5, selling 38,000 copies.

Imagine Dragons' "Night Vision at No. 7 (37,000 copies), Five Finger Death Punch's "The Wrong Side of Heaven..." fell to No. 8 (35,000 copies) and Florida Georgia Line's "Here's To The Good Times" at No. 10 (26,000 copies) round out the chart.
