Miley Cyrus' domination of the Billboard charts continues this week. The "Wrecking Ball" songstress has debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 album chart this week with her latest studio effort, Bangerz.

According to Billboard, Cyrus moved 270,000 copies of her comeback album over the last week, barely surpassing the projected 250,000 copies the sales tracking website announced last week.

The U.S. No. 1 of Bangerz isn't the first time Cyrus has topped the charts here or abroad. Counting her albums as Hannah Montana (which Cyrus may not anymore), this is her fifth Billboard topping album. As for her own studio efforts, Meet Miley Cyrus and Breakout both reached the top spot in the country. Cyrus also debuted at No. 1 in the U.K. this week with Bangerz.

In a mid-October week where she was by far the biggest name with new music, Cyrus slayed the competition on the Billboard 200. The No. 2 album went to Panic! At The Disco's latest effort, Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die sold 84,000 copies.

Drake continued to sell well in the third week for Nothing Was The Same. Debuting with the second highest sales numbers of 2013 two weeks ago, Drizzy comes in at No. 3 this week, barely falling short to Panic!. His album sold 83,000 copies.

The Billboard 200 continued to be diverse in the top ranks, as Pusha T makes his top 10 debut with My Name Is My Name. The G.O.O.D. Music artist moved 75,000 copies and landed at No. 4.

Last week's chart topper, Justin Timberlake's The 20/20 Experience: 2 of 2 stumbled down four spots to No. 5 and 80 percent of sales, selling 70,000 copies. He's followed by another big release from last week, Lorde's Pure Heroine, which sold 63,000 copies and landed at No. 6.

Moved by the power of emotion and Cory Monteith's death, the Glee EP The Quarterback debuted at No. 7, selling 47,000 copies. The somber episode of the same name aired on Thursday, Oct. 10.

The Billboard 200 top 10 is rounded out by: Korn's The Paradigm Shift (No. 8, 46,000 copies), The Voice winner Cassadee Pope's debut major label effort Frame by Frame (No. 9, 43,000 copies) and Mayday Parade's Monsters in the Closet (No. 10, 30,0000 copies).
