After being held out of the No. 1 position by Josh Groban's holiday juggernaut "Noel" last week despite selling 629,000 copies, Mary J. Blige's "Growing Pains" (Geffen) moved to the top spot in the post-Christmas week, selling another 204,000 copies.
Alicia Keys returned to No. 2 with her "As I Am" (J) album, while Groban, now 2007's biggest seller, slips to No. 3. The "Now 26" compilation climbs to No. 4 and Chris Brown's "Exclusive" hits No. 5.
