And at Number Four (104,000) is the new compilation, So Amazing: An All-Star Tribute to Luther Vandross, which features covers of the recently deceased soul legend's classics by Beyonce, Usher, Jamie Foxx, John Legend and Babyface.
Rounding out the Top Five is funny girl Barbra Streisand's second collaboration with Bee Gees frontman Barry Gibb, Guilty Pleasures. (The first was 1980's chart-topper, Guilty.) Gibb wrote and produced much of the album of mainstream pop, even playing guitar on a few tracks.
