The CD has now sold more than 3.3 million O.T.C., remaining ahead of Apple/Capitol's Beatles album, "1," which sold 197.4k O.T.C. this week, giving it close to 6.5 million in overall sales O.T.C. Hollywood's humongous "Save The Last Dance" soundtrack, now over a million sold, continues in the #3 position.
The rest of the Top Ten is rounded out by Arista's Dido, Epic's J.Lo and Sade, Virgin's still-strong Lenny Kravitz, Columbia/CRG's Crazy Town and a pair of IDJ rap titles in Murder Inc.'s Ja Rule and Def Jam South's Ludacris.
Among the titles bubbling under are Mercury/Nashville's left-field smash, the soundtrack to "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" largely fueled by the fictional "hit single" by the Soggy Bottom Boys, "I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow" (see related hitsdailydouble.com story). The record is now up to #14, with weekly sales topping 85k and a total of 352k sold O.T.C.
Expect the chart to shake up over the next few weeks, as several big-name projects hit the streets, including the Dave Matthews Band's RCA album, "Everyday," next Tuesday (2/27) and Aerosmith's Columbia record, "Just Push Play," hitting retail the following week (3/6) along with hip-hop diva Eve's Interscope effort, "Scorpion."
