The sole album in the top-20 of The Billboard 200 to suffer a sales decrease is last week's top debut, Mariah Carey's "Charmbracelet" (MonarC/Island). The set took a 28% hit to sales of 173,000 copies, and nosedives 3-14 on the chart.
Updated with the charts.

Congrats to Whitney on her highest first weeks sales
Arista Press Release Just-In!
JUST WHITNEY... CAPTURES HIGHEST FIRST WEEK SALES OF HER CAREER, AS FANS RALLY 'ROUND!
ABC "Primetime Live" interview and "Good Morning America" street-date
mini-concert broadcast kick off 205,000 unit first week sales feat and Top
10 debut!!!
(December 18, 2002 - New York, NY) Arista recording artist Whitney Houston's brand new album JUST WHITNEY... (in-store December 10th) has won
the highest first-week sales of her career with a Soundscan total in
excess of 205,000 units this past week, entering the Billboard 200 Album
chart at #9 and Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart at #3, it was announced today
by Antonio "L.A." Reid, President and CEO, Arista Records. Bolstered by
phenomenal reaction to her recent appearance on ABC's "Primetime Live"
with Diane Sawyer and a live street-date performance of four songs taped
outside New York's Lincoln Center and broadcast on ABC's "Good Morning
America," including the album's current hit single, "One Of Those Days,"
Whitney has re-established her sales base in a big way.
"Whitney's core following of loyal fans have rallied behind her in a
way that underscores a profound love affair with their favorite singer,"
said Mr. Reid. "Their support of Whitney has resulted in another crowning
achievement in a career already filled with amazing accomplishments. I am
thrilled that JUST WHITNEY... is an album that has more than fulfilled
expectations of fans all over the world."
Whitney's unprecedented one-hour interview on ABC's "Primetime Live"
(broadcast on Wednesday night, December 4th) was the highest-rated show of
the evening, pulling in more than 24 million viewers. Four days later,
more than 5,000 fans braved frigid temperatures to attend the Sunday
afternoon outdoor mini-concert taping at Lincoln Center, mc'd by "Good
Morning America" co-anchor Diane Sawyer. Whitney's four-song set was
broadcast on "GMA" on Tuesday, December 10th, the first day that JUST
WHITNEY... went on sale.
Whitney's previous first week highest sales debuts during the
Soundscan era (which began in 1991) include 1995's Waiting To Exhale
motion picture soundtrack (177,000 copies), 2000's Greatest Hits (158,000
copies), 1992's The Bodyguard soundtrack (145,000 copies), and 1998's My Love Is Your Love (123,000). At the same time, news has poured in that
JUST WHITNEY... shipped gold in France, Italy, Switzerland, and Brazil and
has sold over a million units internationally.
