Demi Lovato may have missed debuting in the No. 1 spot on Billboard 200 chart… But she has plenty of reason to celebrate.

The 20-year-old part-Mexican American singer/actress and returning The X Factor judge has scored her best sales week ever on the albums chart, selling 110,000 copies of her fourth album Demi.

It’s enough to land the former Disney Channel star in the No. 3 on the Billboard 200 chart.

Lovato’s fourth album is her fourth straight set to debut in the top four.

Her last album, 2011’s Unbroken, started at No. 4 with 96,000. She previously opened at No. 1 with her sophomore set, Here We Go Again, in 2009 (108,000 in its debut — her previous best sales week). Her first album, 2008’s Don’t Forget, debuted and peaked at No. 2 off an 89,000 launch.

Vampire Weekend notched its second No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart as Modern Vampires of the City debuts atop the list this week with sales of 134,000 copies.

Country legend George Strait’s latest album debuted at No. 2. Love Is Everything sold 125,000 in its first frame.

Demi Lovato is set to make a splash on next week’s album charts…

Lovato’s album is projected to sell about 110,000 copies by the end of the tracking week on Sunday, May 19, according to industry sources. Should the numbers hold up, it would be the best sales week of her career.

Lovato’s last album, 2011’s Unbroken, debuted at No. 4 with 96,000. She previously opened at No. 1 with her sophomore set, Here We Go Again, in 2009 (108,000 in its debut). Her first album, 2008’s Don’t Forget, debuted and peaked at No. 2 off an 89,000 launch.

The No. 1 position next week will likely be owned by Vampire Weekend‘s Modern Vampires of the City, with perhaps 130,000 copies sold. The No. 2 stop is expected to go to George Strait’s latest album with sales of 120,000.

The new Billboard 200 chart will be revealed on Wednesday, May 22.
