It's hard to believe that after more than a decade and a half and six studio albums, the Foo Fighters have never had a #1 album. But that historical anomaly will be corrected on next week's Billboard albums chart when the group's latest, Wasting Light, hits the top spot thanks to sales of 235,000, according to figures provided by Nielsen SoundScan.

That is more than twice the amount sold by the #2 album, Adele's still-strong 21, which slips down a notch to #2 as sales tick up 5 percent to 93,000. The Foos lead a cavalcade of new faces in the top 10, with reunited bluegrass icons Alison Krauss & Union Station coming in at #3 with Paper Airplane (83,000), folk-rock icon Paul Simon debuting at #4 with So Beautiful or So What, (68,000) and Spanish rockers Mana at #5 with Drama Y Luz (47,000). British pop sensation Jessie J just missed out on a top 10 debut, sliding in at #11 with Who You Are, which sold 34,000 copies.

The rest of the top 10: Britney Spears' Femme Fatale (#6, 43,000, down 43 percent), Songs for Japan (#7, 37,000), Wiz Khalifa's Rolling Papers (#8, 37,000), Chris Brown's F.A.M.E. (#9, 35,000), and Mumford & Sons' Sigh No More (#10, 35,000).

Hipster rock faves TV on the Radio return with Nine Types of Light (#12, 32,000), while indie rap duo Atmosphere hit #13 with The Family Sign (28,000). One of the week's biggest drops comes courtesy of the CD version of Radiohead's King of Limbs, which plunges 71 percent in its second round on the chart, falling 20 spots to #23 on sales of 19,000. Also charting was the latest solo album from Animal Collective member Panda Bear, Tomboy, which climbed in at #29 (18,000).

It was all Foos on the iTunes chart, where Wasting Light topped the album tally, followed by Adele, Songs for Japan, Krauss, Mumford, Simon, Jessie J, TV on the Radio, Spears and Atmosphere.

Katy Perry's run on the iTunes singles chart continues, as her "E.T." collabo with Kanye West sat atop the list, followed by Rihanna's "S&M" remix with Spears, the Black Eyed Peas' "Just Can't Get Enough," Lady Gaga's "Judas" and Adele's "Rolling in the Deep." Rounding out the list are Jeremih with 50 Cent and "Down on Me," Bruno Mars' "The Lazy Song," Jennifer Lopez's "On the Floor," Chris Brown's "Look at me Now" and Spears' "Till the World Ends." Look for things to stand pretty pat next week when the new faces will include the Glee: The Music — Presents the Warblers collection and the Gorillaz' iPad album, The Fall.

Serena Williams Explains Hot Pink Bodysuit

She tweeted a picture of herself playing tennis in a pink bodysuit last week, and Serena Williams explained what that was all about last night at the Range Rover Evogue Event.

The tennis pro told People Magazine, ?Honestly, I just tweeted a picture in the suit and I didn?t realize it would go that crazy.?

Revealing that the suit is a requirement for her practices, Serena explained, ?After my hematoma, I have to wear something like a long bodysuit to keep my stomach warm. My practices are really ? interesting right now.?

Looking forward to going back to tennis soon, she continued, ?I think I?m going to come back casual. I don?t want to shock too many people too much. I want it to be all about my tennis.?

BritneySpears.com Gets An Interesting Layout Upgrade

The tech folks behind Britney Spears‘s official website have done some major tinkering to her website and have unveiled a whole new layout … one that looks, IMHO, kinda tacky. Taking a page from those old My Space profiles and Geocities homepages of the late 90′s, early 2000′s, BritneySpears.com now has a plethora of flashy [...]

Demi Lovato Quits 'Sonny With a Chance'

Demi Lovato Quits 'Sonny With a Chance'

Demi Lovato will not be returning to Disney Channel's Sonny with a Chance, the singer-actress tells People. Instead, she's going to concentrate on her health and her music career -- hopefully in that order.

"I don't think going back to Sonny would be healthy for my recovery," says Lovato, who underwent three months of residential medical treatment for "physical and emotional issues" this winter. She said performing in front of a camera "would make me nervous."

"It's kind of sad for me... but there couldn't be a better time for me to move on," the 18-year-old starlet told People. Demi is still signed to one of Disney's music labels.

While it's unclear where Demi goes from here (leaving a TV show still in production is relatively new territory for Disney stars), the show must go on -- though not without a few big changes. Disney is relaunching Sonny this June as a sketch comedy show called So Random! (which is the fictional sketch comedy show Sonny joined in the original version). Confused? Ask your kids.

How brightly will Demi's star shine without a hit show to keep it polished? Time -- and Demi's fans -- will tell. But there are more important things in the world than celebrity status. Survival, for one.

Not all talented kids can become entertainment machines. But that's not the message one gets watching Demi and fellow young stars Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus, Miranda Cosgrove, etc. with multihyphenate careers that include work in music, TV and movies. So it's a relief to see at least one of these kids taking her foot off the celebrity accelerator, and simply taking care of herself.
