Philadephia crooner Amos Lee has the good fortune to land his first #1 album on the Billboard Top 200 this week, with his fourth LP Mission Bell. That said, with only 40,000 copies sold out of the gate, Lee  also has the misfortune of charting the worst sales week for a #1 record, thus breaking Cake’s record low from only two weeks ago. So far no one is doing much of anything to keep 2011 from going down as the Year That Finally Killed Off The Album. See the rest of the Top 10 below. The Top 10 of Billboard‘s Top 200 chart:
