Norah Skins Jessica
Never has it been more difficult to keep up with the Joneses. Especially this one.
Norah Jones' record-setting sophomore album, Feels Like Home, extended its reign atop the charts to four weeks, passing OutKast for the longest run at number one so far this year. For the week ended Sunday, Feels Like Home moved 204,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan numbers out Wednesday.
Though not a serious competitor for the top spot, Jessica Simpson leapt up to number two with her revamped In This Skin. The disc, which sold nearly 160,000 copies for the week, features new album artwork, a bonus DVD and a handful of new songs, including a cover of Berlin's "Take My Breath Away." The original version of the album had sold just 52,000 copies the week prior to the rerelease.
Aside from Simpson's ascent, the Top 10 remained all too familiar. Evanescence's Fallen sold 117,000 copies at number three, Kanye West's The College Dropout dropped two spots to number four with 107,000 copies, and Kenny Chesney's When the Sun Goes Down held steady at five with 90,000 copies.
Rounding out the Top 10 were OutKast's Speakerboxxx/The Love Below at six, Josh Groban's Closer at seven, The Very Best of Sheryl Crow at eight, Twista's Kamikaze at nine, and Eamon's I Don't Want You Back at 10.
The week's top debut belonged to Goodie Mob alumnus Cee-Lo, whose sophomore disc, Cee-Lo Green Is the Soul Machine, sold 55,000 copies to bow at number 13. The 30-track Tha Down Low comp, benefiting from heavy television advertising, followed at 22. The disc features '90s urban hits from artists like Mary J. Blige, Babyface and En Vogue.
Country singer Clint Black, who promoted his new album with a round of Wal-Mart appearances, opened at 27 with Spend My Time. The Kansas City emo group Get Up Kids got up to number 58 with their latest, Guilt Show. The U.K.'s critically acclaimed electro-soul duo Zero 7 wrapped up the new studio album debuts at 139 with When It Falls.
Lastly, the Best of Hootie & the Blowfish: 1993-2003--featuring the onetime radio staples "Hold My Hand" and "Only Wanna Be With You," as well as a cover of Led Zeppelin's "Hey Hey What Can I Do?"--cracked the charts at 62, selling 20,000 copies. The South Carolina group tried for a comeback last year with its Don Was-produced eponymous disc, but the album managed to only debut at 46 before sailing off the charts. A decade ago, Hootie & Co. sold 16 million copies of their career-making debut, Cracked Rear View.
To recap, the Top 10 albums for the week ended Sunday were:
1. Feels Like Home, Norah Jones
2. In This Skin, Jessica Simpson
3. Fallen, Evanescence
4. The College Dropout, Kanye West
5. When the Sun Goes Down, Kenny Chesney
6. Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, OutKast
7. Closer, Josh Groban
8. The Very Best of Sheryl Crow, Sheryl Crow
9. Kamikaze, Twista
10. I Don't Want You Back, Eamon
