Canadian pop star Justin Bieber edged out British boy band One Direction in a battle to the top of the U.S. Billboard 200 album chart on Monday. However, his reign may be short-lived as British singer Adele looks to break records with her new release. According to figures from Nielsen SoundScan, "Purpose," the fourth studio album by Bieber, sold 520,000 albums, 602,000 songs and was streamed 100 million times in its first week, totaling 649,000 units. It is Bieber's best-selling debut in his career so far. One Direction's "Made in the A.M." sold 459,000 units in its first week, landing at No. 2.
