That’s enough for Marshall Mathers to turn back last week’s chart-topper, Young Money/Cash Money/Universal Motown rapper Drake, who slips to #2 with 156k after last week’s 463k debut. Hey, who said hip-hop was dead anyway?
Hollywood’s Miley Cyrus is the week’s other top newcomer, with Can’t Be Tamed entering at #3, scoring 107k in sales, giving Jim Urie’s UMGD the top three albums on the Top 50. Epic’s Ozzy Osbourne returns to the chart at #4, while Capitol/EMI’s Now 34 rounds out the Top 5.
Def Jam/IDJ’s The Roots take time out from backing Jimmy Fallon on his late-night show to debut at #6 with How I Got Over. Paul Shaffer and Max Weinberg, eat your hearts out.
Brushfire/Universal Republic’s Jack Johnson (#7), Island/IDJ’s Justin Bieber (#8), Chop Shop/Atlantic’s Twilight Saga: Eclipse (#9) and Arista/RMG’s Sarah McLachlan (#10) complete the leader board.
Other new entries include Kedar Entertainment’s Keith Sweat (#13), JW/Big Machine/Universal Republic’s Jaron & the Long Road to Love (#15), Downtown’s Cyndi Lauper (#24), Concord’s Macy Gray (#35), Jive/RED’s Sia (#37) and Evilive/The End’s Danzig (#39).
The only title holding its own without a week-to-week drop is J/RMG diva Alicia Keys’ Element of Freedom, steady at #33 and even in sales.
Hitting retail stores this week are Island/IDJ’s The-Dream, Photo Finish/RRP’s 3OH3!,
