Charts: Chris Tomlin scores No. 1 album, causing many to ask, 'who's Chris Tomlin?'

A new face leads this week’s Billboard Top 200 albums chart: Christian artist Chris Tomlin, who scores his first No. 1 album with “Burning Lights.”

The album is the Texas native’s seventh studio set, and it sold a career high 73,000 copies its first week, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The set is only the fourth Christian album to ever top the chart, unless you count all those U2 albums.

Mask-wearing rockers Hollywood Undead arrive at No. 2 with “Notes from the Underground,” which sold 53,000 copies its first week. Not quite Slipknot numbers, but it will do. Last week’s No. 1, the “Les Mis” soundtrack, falls to No. 3, while Taylor Swift and the “Pitch Perfect” soundtrack round out the top five.

Next week’s new arrivals will likely be led by A$AP Rocky and the Kidz Bop Kids, who chime in with “Kidz Bop 23.” January, am I right?
