Selena Gomez Earns First No. 1 on Billboard 200
This week, Selena Gomez collects her first No. 1 title on the Billboard 200 with the arrival of "Stars Dance." The Hollywood Records release sold 97,000 copies in its first week -- a career-high frame for the singer.
Each of her four albums have steadily grown larger in their debut weeks, bowing with successively bigger sums and placing higher on the chart.
Her 2009 debut, "Kiss and Tell," opened at No. 9 with nearly 66,000. It was followed by the No. 4-ranking "A Year Without Rain" in 2010 (which slightly exceeded 66,000) and then 2011's "When the Sun Goes Down" (No. 3 peak, a week after it launched at No. 4 with 78,000).

So is Mariah kicking herself for getting out of Selena's way, or would she not have sold more than 97k?
