Just as it was looking like Adele's 21 was going to over take Nicki Minaj's Roman Reloaded, Richie's Tuskegee snuck in as the top album on the Billboard 200.
His album Tuskegee sold 129,000 units this week, thanks largely to his CBS special, ACM Presents: Lionel Richie & Friends in Concert.
The show got over 7.7 million viewers tuned into the show, a day after the ACM awards. Adele still held strong with +90K units sold, followed by Nicki's 81,000, a 68 percent decline from her debut last week.
Rounding out the top 5 was Monica's New Life debuting at number four and One Direction's Up All Night staying at five.
And its been 26 years since Lional was on the top of the music charts!!
Congrats Lional!
