The group last sold more when 2002's "Vapor Trails" debuted at #6 with 110,000.
"Clockwork Angels" is Rush's second album to hit #2 following 1993's "Counterparts"; a #1 US album continues to elude the act.
Rush landed at #2 behind Usher, whose new album "Looking 4 Myself" debuts atop the list with 128,000 copies sold according to Nielsen SoundScan.
