Shaggy Sinks J.Lo
Exactly six months after debuting at a lowly 82, Shaggy's Hotshot finally cracked the number-one spot on the album sales chart, thanks to its huge hit, "Wasn't Me," which also topped the singles chart.
It's an amazing turnaround for the Desert Storm vet-turned-dance-hall sensation. His album dropped as low as 137 before the single caught fire. For the week ended February 4, Hotshot sold 245,000 copies to run its total to 2.8 million. Look for Shaggy to get another boost from his performance at Sunday's NBA All-Star Game. He's also slated to appear on Rosie O'Donnell later this month.
Shaggy's sales easily eclipsed the 179,000 copies J.Lo moved last week, preventing the diva from repeating her feat of topping both the box-office and album charts in the same week.
Last week, Lopez made history by becoming the first female to accomplish such a milestone. Despite her album's drop to second place, Lopez's romantic romp The Wedding Planner remained tops at the box office, though it's likely to get chewed up this week by The Silence of the Lambs sequel, Hannibal. Lopez will try to generate some more sales by both hosting and serving as the musical guest on this weekend's Saturday Night Live.
Holding tight at spots three and four were the soundtrack to Save the Last Dance and the Beatles' 1. The albums sold 172,000 and 159,000 copies, respectively.
Hollis, Queens, rapper Ja Rule jumped five spots to number five with his latest, Rule 3:36, which previously spent one week in the number-one slot last October. Fueled by Ja's new single, "Put It on Me," Rule 3:36 sold 99,000 copies.
Meanwhile, Atlanta's Ludacris re-entered the top 10 at number eight, as his debut album, Back for the First Time, sold 85,000 copies. The album was originally an independent release called Incognegro but was later picked up, retitled and released on the new Def Jam South imprint.
Other Top 10 holdovers included Dido's No Angel at six, Now That's What I Call Music! 5 at seven and Puff Daddy offspring Dream's It Was All a Dream at nine.
The battle for the 10 spot was particularly fierce as Lenny Kravitz's Greatest Hits lost to LeAnn Rimes' controversial new disc I Need You. The latter, which sold 82,000 copies in its first week, created a stir as the country singer publicly apologized and disavowed the album. Curb Records, with whom Rimes has had a contractual dispute, made the album against her wishes using several songs that she says were either unfinished or unused tracks from other recordings.
In other chart action, the soundtrack to Denise Richards' horror flick Valentine made a less-than-warm debut at number 101. The album features previously released tracks from Marilyn Manson, Professional Murder Music and Linkin Park.
Vitamin C, the alter ego to former Eve's Plum vocalist Colleen Fitzpatrick, took a number 122 bow with her sophomore release, More. Rounding out the new releases was salsa singer Victor Manuelle, whose Instinto 7 Deseo opened at number 197.
