UPDATE - 8/9@10:31AM: The official Billboard charts are out. The album received a nice little greatest gainer tag for its #13 spot on the Billboard 200. It also was #2 on both the Rock Albums chart and the Hard Rock Albums chart.

Thanks to Amazon.com's incredible 99-cent mp3 download deal last week, Rush's Clockwork Angels has shot back into the top 20 to #13 in its 8th week of release. According to Nielsen Soundscan, the album's sales increased 258% to 20,027 over last week when it sold 5,587 copies. This propelled the album from #70 last week to #13 this week. The album has sold a total of 197,249 copies in the US to date. The official Billboard chart reflecting the new numbers should be updated sometime tomorrow morning. Thanks to Andrew N for the info.
