Tupac Lives on Charts
The rapper's latest beyond-the-grave release, the double-disc Until the End of Time, has debuted at number one on the Billboard album charts. It's his second posthumous chart-topper.
For the week ended April 1, Until the End of Time sold more than 425,000 copies according to SoundScan, knocking Shaggy's Hotshot (175,000) down to number two.
Tupac, an unlikely martyr of gangsta rap gunned down in September 1996, first scored number-one debuts with Me Against the World and All Eyez on Me before his murder and with Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory a few months after. Subsequent from-the-vaults releases--Still I Rise, Greatest Hits and R U Still Down? (Remember Me?)--all opened in the top 10, but Until the End of Time marks Shakur's first trip to the top of the charts in more than four years.
(More Tupac trivia: The rapper was in jail when Me Against the World became his first chart-topper, making him the first artist to score a number-one debut while serving a prison term.)
And there's no end in sight to future Tupac releases. There are still scores of unreleased tracks from the prolific hip-hopster. And his All Eyez on Me is being digitally remastered as one of several reissues coming from Death Row Records in May.
Dave Matthews Band's Everyday remained tight at number three with 109,000 copies sold. The urban vocal group 112, which nearly dethroned Shaggy last week, fell two spots to number four after selling 99,000 copies of Part III. Dido, whose North American tour starts June 10 in Canada, climbed a couple spots to number five as No Angel sold another 87,000 copies.
San Francisco folk-rockers Train earned the week's second-best debut at number six, selling 80,000 copies of Drops of Jupiter. The group, which built an underground following on Aware Records, scored with the hit single "Meet Virigina" from their self-titled 1998 Columbia debut. Also cracking the top 10 was neo-R&B singer India.Arie, who landed in the 10 spot with 76,000 copies of her debut album, Acoustic Soul.
The rest of the top 10 included some usual suspects: Limp Bizkit's Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water at seven, Trick Daddy's Thugs Are Us at eight and Aersosmith's Just Push Play at nine.
L.A.'s wannabe rock revivalist Buckcherry opened at number 54 with its sophomore release, Time Bomb, R&B singer Jesse Powell landed at 71 with his JP and Saliva bowed at 85 with Every Six Seconds.
Other notable chart newcomers included Grammy darling Shawn Colvin at 101 with Whole New You, Dublin's surprise teen sensation Samantha Mumba at number 109 with Gotta Tell You, Billy Idol's Greatest Hits at 111, the Josie and the Pusssycats soundtrack at 112, Clay Walker's Say No More at 129 and Anastacia's Not That Kind at 168.
The week also saw several live albums chart. Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals' double-disc Live from Mars was the highest of those at number 70. Pearl Jam scored two entries, Seattle--11/5/00 at 98 and Las Vegas--10/22/00 at 152. Pearl Jam's has now debuted 14 of its live bootlegs in Billboard's Hot 200. Other new live recordings included Ozzfest--Second Stage Live at 144 and Selena's Live--The Last Concert at 200.
