Susan Boyle's Album "The Gift " was the Number 1 album in the US this week, replacing Kanye West's My Beautiful Twisted Fantasty, which dropped to Number 7.

The holiday retail market catapulted several other albums ahead of West's in the top 10. Taylor Swift's Speak Now went from Number 3 to Number 2, 10-year-old opera singer Jackie Evancho's Christmas LP debuted at Number 3, and two Glee albums; a Christmas LP and volume 4 of the soundtrack series; debuted at Number 4 and Number 5, respectively.

The Black Eyed Peas The Beginning debuted at a surprisingly soft Number 6, and Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday, which came in at Number 2 last week, slipped to Number 8.
