(hennemusic) Van Halen's new album, "A Different Kind Of Truth," has debuted at no. 2 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.

The rockers were expected to battle for top spot with UK singing sensation Adele, and that's exactly how things played out.

Van Halen's album sold 187,000 copies in its debut week, while Adele enjoyed a massive sales bump due to her increased profile around Sunday's Grammy Awards, where she swept her 6 categories, including Album Of The Year for "21." Adele sold 242,000 copies during Grammy week, virtually doubling the 122,000 she sold a week earlier. more on this story
