Coldplay climbs in at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart with its third chart-topping set, "Mylo Xyloto," selling 447,000 in its debut week.

Mylo" also earns the biggest week for a rock effort since U2's "No Line On the Horizon" debuted at No. 1 with 484,000 on the chart dated March 21, 2009.

Since SoundScan began tracking sales in 1991, only five rock acts have claimed three albums that debuted with at least 400,000. Coldplay is the latest member of that group, which also includes U2 (three 400,000-plus debuts), the Beatles (three), Dave Matthews Band (five) and Metallica (six).

There were other debuts in the top ten:

Kelly Clarkson's "Stronger," which starts at No. 2 with 163,000 sold.

Michael Buble, who bows his first full-length holiday album, "Christmas," at No. 3 with 141,000.

Toby Keith's "Clancy's Tavern" starts at No. 5 with 69,000.

Tom Waits makes waves as the singer/songwriter nets his first top 10 album -- and highest charter ever -- with his "Bad As Me" bowing at No. 6 with 63,000.

Overall album sales in this past chart week (ending Oct. 30) totaled 5.61 million units, up 16% compared to the sum last week (4.82 million) and down 3% compared to the comparable sales week of 2010 (5.80 million). Year to date album sales stand at 249.29 million, up 3% compared to the same total at this point last year (241.94 million). It is the 23rd week in a row where year-to-date album volume is greater than the same time in the prior year.
