Billboard: The Ballads lands at #10 with 29,000 copies sold

Mariah Carey's "Ballads" is the Billboard 200's highest debut, arriving at No. 10, while another romantic effort, Frank Sinatra's "Seduction: Sinatra Sings of Love," also makes a good start . . . It's a great week for indie rock acts, as Andrew Bird, Animal Collective and Bon Iver all debut in the top 20 of the big chart . . . Kelly Clarkson makes big news with her new single "My Life Would Suck Without You" . . . And in Progress Reports, we've got updates on Coldplay, Blake Shelton and U2.

FLASH POINTS

• Love is in the air and on the Billboard 200 as Mariah Carey's "Ballads" compilation is the chart's Hot Shot Debut at No. 10 with 29,000. It's the diva's 16th charting set and 14th top 10. Released through Columbia/Legacy, the new collection boasts downtempo hits and album cuts. It's the fourth best-of set that Carey has charted, following "#1's" (No. 4 in 1998), "Greatest Hits" (No. 52 in 2001) and "The Remixes" (No. 26 in 2003). You have to figure "Ballads" will keep singing on the chart as we get closer to Valentine's Day, as it seems like a natural gift purchase.
