Counting her soundtrack albums as the Disney character Hannah Montana, this is her fifth No. 1 album. She topped the list with the Disney Channel TV series’ first soundtrack in 2006, as well as its big-screen film adaptation soundtrack in 2009. Cyrus herself notched No. 1s with the half-soundtrack/half-st
udio album “Hannah Montana 2/Meet Miley Cyrus” set in 2007, and then her own “Breakout” studio effort in 2008. Cyrus’ last studio album, 2010’s “Can’t Be Tamed,” debuted and peaked at No. 3 from a 102,000 start.
“Bangerz” is one of seven debuts in the top 10 this week. Arriving at No. 2 is Panic! at the Disco’s “Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die” with 84,000. That’s up quite a bit from the starting week of its last album, 2011’s “Vices & Virtues.” It debuted and peaked at No. 7 with 56,000. Panic’s new album matches its highest-charting set, “Pretty. Odd.,” which debuted and peaked at No. 2 in 2008.
