Disney’s Hannah Montana: The Movie soundtrack remains at #2, with another 68k in sales, while Asylum rapper Cam’ron’s Crime Pays is the other Top 10 newcomer at #3, with 42k.
Interscope’s Lady Gaga, one of the few titles this week that actually went up, though just a touch at 2%, climbs to #4, while Lyric Street’s Rascal Flatts rounds out the Top 5.
Columbia’s Bob Dylan (#6), Big Machine’s Taylor Swift (#7), Def Jam/IDJ’s Chrisette Michele (#8), who topped last week’s chart, labelmate Rick Ross (#9) and Chop Shop/Atlantic’s Twilight soundtrack (#10) complete this week’s leader board.
