Sales and chart positions

Album

The soundtrack debuted at #1 on the Billboard 100, selling 281,000 copies in its first week and beating out such artists as John Legend and rock band My Chemical Romance's third studio album entitled The Black Parade.[2] and the album held its ground in its second week, remaining at the #1 spot on Billboard with 203,000 copies sold, edging out the debut of music legend Barry Manilow's album The Greatest Songs of the Sixties.[3] In its third week on the chart, it fell to number five with 131,000 copies sold,[4] and stayed at fifth for its fourth week.[5] It then fell to seventh in week five, although sales increased 47% in the same week, with 167,000 copies sold.[6] The album rose to number two in its sixth week, but sales decreased by 6% this week, with 157,000 copies sold.[7] That same week, it broke 300,000 sales. In the seventh week, it fell to number four, although it again increased in sales by 47%, with 243,000 copies sold;[8] it was also certified gold. In its eighth week, it moved up to number three on the chart and sold 274,000 copies.[9] In week nine, it again rose to number two with strong sales of 349,000 copies;[10] this may be because of the increase in sales during the holidays. After Christmas, in its tenth week, the album fell sharply to number 10 and sold 78,000 copies.[11] In the album's eleventh week on the chart, sales declined, with 46,000 copies sold, but the album nevertheless rose on the chart to number six.[12] As of October 2007, the album has yet to fall from the charts, almost a year after its release.

The album was the first TV soundtrack to debut on the chart at number one, and the first from a TV series in 20 years to hold the number one position (another Disney TV soundtrack, the High School Musical soundtrack, reached number one earlier in 2006, but it was from a TV movie rather than a series).[13] In December 2006, the album was certified Double Platinum. The album went Gold in the UK in just 4 weeks. It has spent a total of 34 weeks on the UK Compilation Chart.
