LOS ANGELES, Calif. --

The soundtrack that has been deemed “indie-licious” has made its way to the number one spot after falling short last week.

After a full week on the shelves, the “New Moon” soundtrack has clawed its way to the number one position on the Billboard Top 200. Sales increased by 33 percent, adding another 153,000 copies sold which beat out last week’s chart topper Michael Buble’s “Crazy Love,” who is at number three this week with 101,000 copies sold.

Tim McGraw’s tenth studio album, “Southern Voice,” makes it to the runner-up position at number 2 with 137,000 copies sold. Trailing behind at number four is Jay-Z’s “The Blueprint 3,” followed by Miley Cyrus’s “The Time Of Our Lives,” rounding out the top five spots. 

On the digital download front, Owl City’s “Fireflies” snagged the top spot by receiving over 196,000 downloads. And though her album sits in at fifth, Miley’s “Party In The U.S.A” comes in at second on the download list, and Britney Spears’ “3” is at number 5 with 125,000 downloads.
