After falling to #14 for a minute,Jamie Foxx also moves back into the top mix at #6, selling 32,600 copies of Intuition.

[artist id="1230523"]Kanye West[/artist] also reclaims a spot in the big show, moving eight spots up to #8 with sales of almost 32,500 copies of 808s & Heartbreak.At press time, 'Ye was just one copy behind India.Arie, and just a couple hundred ahead of [article id="1604582"]Album of the Year Grammy-winning Raising Sand[/article] by Robert Plant & Alison Krauss, which slips 7 spots to #9 on sales of just over 32,000.

As [article id="1604116"]T.I. prepares to head to prison[/article] for a year, his Paper Trail moves another six spots up the charts to #12 on sales of 29,300.

The news was not as good for Bruce Springsteen, whose Working on a Dream saw a 55 percent dip in sales to 29,000, dropping his latest with the E Street Band down to seven spots to #13 in its fourth week on the chart. British pop tart Lily Allen had an even steeper cliff dive, losing 61 percent of her debut-week sales for It's Not Me, It's You, selling 27,500 copies to land at #16 after a top-five bow.

The post-Grammy bump also turned a bit cold for [article id="1604571"] Best New Artist Adele[/article], whose 19 suffered a 60 percent slide, dropping nine spots to #19 on 22,700 units moved. "SNL"-spawned comedy trio Lonely Island also saw the laughter fade, as the [article id="1603751"]Andy Samberg-led group's debut, Incredibad,[/article] crashed 56 percent, dropping to #24 on sales of 20,700.
