Mariah Carey jumps from #16 to #4, thanks to a new expanded “Platinum Deluxe” edition—now there’s a concept!—of her Island/IDJ disc selling 183k. That’s a 370% sales spike, for those of you keeping track. The compilation that just keeps on giving, UTV’s Now That’s What I Call Music 20, comes in at #5, with 165k. And the Shady/Aftermath/Interscope soundtrack to 50 Cent’s Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ flick is #6, with 165k.
The next two spots are held by debuts—Warner Bros. Nashville’s Big & Rich (one’s big; both are rich) at #7, with 148k, and a live ‘un from Reprise’s Green Day at #8, with 97k.
Rounding out the Top 10’s last two positions are Roadrunner/IDJ’s Nickelback at #9, with 89k, and the purdy Martina McBride (RCA Nashville) jumping from #12 to #10, with 79k and a 65% sales spike. Gotta love them CMAs.
Other notable debuts include Epic’s Ginuwine (but is he awthentic?) at #12, with 77k; Columbia’s Bruce Springsteen—you may have heard of him, too—at #14, with 58k of his Born To Run repackage; TVT’s Pitbull—grrrr....—at #28, with 41k; Mailboat’s Jimmy Buffett at #41, with 28k; a new Alanis Morissette “best of” at #42, with 27k; and Wind-Up’s soundtrack to the excellent new Johnny Cash film bio at #50, with 23k.
Watch for debuts next week from System of a Down, Juelz Santana (no relation), John Mayer Trio, Chamillionaire, Scott Stapp, Reba McEntire and Enya.
