As expected, Rush have debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200 album chart.
Billboard reports Rush had its best sales week in 10 years as "Clockwork Angels" sold 103,000 copies in its opening week.
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.
