'N Sync Still Bows to "Now 7"
Last week, Now That's What I Call Music! 7 not only scored the highest ever single week sales for a non-soundtrack compilation, the collection also dethroned the mighty 'N Sync. In the much-anticipated rematch, Now 7 once again beat the boy band for the top spot.
According to SoundScan data for the week ended Sunday, Now 7 sold 394,000 copies 'N Sync's Celebrity's 244,000 to finish one-two on the album charts.
The week's biggest debut came from one of music's most enduring acts. The Isley Brothers' first album in five years, Eternal, sold 225,000 copies for an impressive number three bow. The oft-sampled, much-covered Isleys began their career in the '50s and recorded such classic oldies as "Shout," "It's Your Thing," "Who's That Lady" and "Twist and Shout." With Eternal, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers have scored another hit with the ballad "Contagious," featuring R. Kelly.
Closely behind was a more contemporary R&B'er, Usher, whose new 8701 landed at number four.
Jadakiss claimed the number five spot with his first solo effort, Kiss Tha Game Goodbye. The hip-hopster is best known as part of the New York rap trio the LOX (short for Living Off Experience), who came up writing and producing as part of the Bad Boy camp.
Aaron Carter--little brother to the Backstreet Boys' Nick Carter and the youngest male solo artist to have four Top 40 singles--had the last of the week's top 10 debuts, opening at number seven with his latest, Oh Aaron. Though Carter's new album has received limited mainstream radio play, it is a major hit on Radio Disney and Nickelodeon.
The remaining top 10 discs--most of which will likely have songs on Now 8--were: Alicia Keys' Songs in A Minor at six, Staind's Break the Cycle at eight, Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory at nine and D12's Devil's Night in the 10 spot.
Elsewhere on the charts, Philly's Most Wanted debuted at number 69 with Get Down or Lay Down. Alberta-born country artist Carolyn Dawn Johnson, who recently set the record for the most nominations at the Canadian Country Music Awards with 10, opened her Room with a View at 87. The soundtrack to Kevin Smith's Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, featuring the hilarious Afroman track "Because I Got High," bowed in at 92.
Other notable debuts included Toya' self-titled at 108, Better Than Ezra's Closer at 109 and Russell Watson's Voice at 147.
