Looks like Blake Shelton’s side gig as a coach on NBC singing competition The Voice is paying off in other lanes.
The country man leads the Billboard 200 album charts this week. His latest album, Red River Blue, sold 116,000 units, making it the highest debut of his career.
Surprisingly, following at No. 2 is Incubus’ If Not Now, When? with 80,000 copies bought. And again, Adele posts a strong week. Her 21 moved 77,000 albums. Check out the rest of the top 10 after the jump.

Adele is still going strong.
How is David Cook’s new CD doing?
I don’t know. I don’t check for David Cook. Hopefully it’s doing well.
Adele and Beyonce have the best albums of the year. Love them both.
YAY!!! SO happy for Blake he totally deserves it.. the album is great!
Yeah but all that national exposure on a “popular” TV program should’ve netted a much higher rate than just 116K sold.
How long was Beyonce #1? One week or two?
Two weeks.
What about Chris Young NEON @ #4! And not one review or word about him in EW.
Bravo to Blake, but the real story is Adele still ‘Rolling …’. The amazing album just keeps on ticking!
Adele’s album is amazing. Glad to see that its still going strong. She’s phenomenal.
Wow….Album of the decade Born This Way is actually being bested by Selena Gomez! Where are you little monsters???? Instead of sending bullying email to Howard Stern about his interview with Momma, you could have been out buying and buying more copies!
I love that Lady Gaga is no longer in the top 10! You go ADELE!!!
Now we ust need Kelly Clarkson new album to come out already
