New releases rule Billboard Album Chart as ScHoolboy Q, Beck, Kid Cudi and more debut in top 10

The Billboard 200 Albums Chart is chock full of new releases this week (March 6) after weeks of the Frozen soundtrack dominating the top spots and familiar fare peppering the bottom spots of the top 10. What new releases are responsible for this week's chart shake up? None other than ScHoolboy Q, Beck and Kid Cudi.

Despite winning Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song at the Oscars with a highly anticipated performance from Idina Menzel, Frozen slips to the No. 2 spot at ScHoolboy Q's major-label debut Oxymoron started at the top of the Billboard 200. According to Billboard, the new album sold 139,000 copies in the US this week, easily arriving at the peak of the charts.

The unstoppable blustery force that is the Frozen soundtrack may have slipped from the top spot, but the family-friendly set is still having a solid showing, arriving at No. 2 with 91,000 albums sold. That's actually a 2 percent increase from when the Frozen soundtrack took the No. 1 album spot last week with 89,000 copies.

Oh, and this is the ninth week in a row that Frozen has appeared at either No. 1 or No. 2 on the Billboard 200. It's spent five weeks at the chart's apex.

Despite the familiarity of the chart's second album, Nos. 3 through 6 are all new releases. Beck's stellar Sea Change "companion piece" Morning Phase debuted at No. 3 with slightly more than 87,000 copies sold.

Right behind music's "Loser" is Kid Cudi, who surprisingly dropped his Satellite Flight: The Journey to Mother Moon on Tuesday (Feb. 25) to digital retailers. Available only on iTunes, Google Play and Amazon MP3 with little notice before its release, the set sold 87,000, coming in just below Beck.

The next new arrival in the top of the charts comes courtesy of Latin artist Romeo Santos, whose album Formula: Vol 2 debuted at No. 5 with 85,000 copies sold. It's followed by yet another first week album, with Dierks Bentley's Riser selling 63,000 copies and landing at No. 6. And FINALLY, The Fray's Helios, which sold 37,000 copies and arrived at No. 8, rounds out the new albums.

That's six new albums in the top 10, a refresher for the chart follower who's sick of Katy Perry's Prism appearing over and over again.

That's not to say there aren't a few leftovers on the charts this week, of course. Eric Church's former chart-topper The Outsiders slipped to No. 7 with 43,000 copies.

Now 49 and Beyoncé round out the charts at Nos. 9 and 10 with 34,000 and 32,000 copies sold, respectively.
