Taken from Billboard via LC Newswire:

At No. 3 this week is Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Leonard Cohen with the debut of "Old Ideas" (41,000). It's the icon's highest-charting album ever and best sales week since SoundScan began tracking sales in 1991. The beloved artist's new album is his first studio effort since 2004's "Dear Heather," which debuted and peaked at No. 131 (9,000 in its first week).

Thirty-five percent of Cohen's new album's sales came from physical albums sold via Internet retailers. To compare, only 1% of Del Rey's first-week physical CD sales came from Internet sellers. On the other hand, 74% of Del Rey's sales were downloads, while digital sales represented 30% for Cohen.
