The album debuted at number 1 on the U.S. Billboard 200 with sales of 615,000 copies, the fourth best first-week sales of 2007 (trailing behind Linkin Park's Minutes to Midnight, 50 Cent's Curtis, and Kanye West's Graduation).[7] The set also claimed the biggest first-week sales for a television soundtrack.[14] It remained at number-one in its second, third, and fourth weeks, selling 367,000 copies in its second, 210,000 copies in its third, and 165,000 copies in its fourth.[15][16][17] The soundtrack is the first album in over two years to spend four consecutive weeks at number 1 on the Billboard 200.[17]
