On the Charts: “High School Musical 2? Still Unstoppable, Yung Joc and Casting Crowns Debut In Top Five

The Big News: In its third week week of release, the High School Musical 2 soundtrack is really slipping — the tween crack is still number one, but selling 209,996 copies this week, it only bests its nearest competitor by about 80,000 records. Christian soft-rockers Casting Crowns debuted at number two, selling 128,932 albums, while significantly less Christian music from Yung Joc finished at number three in its first week, with 69,078. Debuts: Besides Casting Crowns and Yung Joc, Cali hard rockers Atreyu entered the chart at number eight, just ahead of the latest from Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals. Further down the chart, Lyle Lovett’s latest came in at number eighteen,while another Christian act, Mercy Me, entered at forty-three, pot-rappers Kottonmouth Kings debuted at forty-four, and indie-rap star Aesop Rock finished at fifty. Last Week’s Sales Heroes?: The kiddie contact high from HSM2 is wearing off, as the Hannah Montana 2 soundtrack slips to number four. The irrepressible Fergie is back up to number five, the Hairspray soundtrack drop to six, the Now! 25 compilation to seven, and Nickelback, in its 100th week of release, hangs in at number ten, having sold a mind-bending 5,857,555 copies to date.

On the Charts: “High School Musical 2? Enjoys Another Week at the Top Before Kanye and 50 Arrive

The Big News: Call it the lull before the storm — in the week before Kanye, 50 Cent and country star Kenny Chesney released their blockbuster records, sales for the top fifty albums were as slow as they’ve ever been. The soundtrack to High School Musical 2 stayed on top for a fourth week — the first album to reign for that long since 50’s The Massacre in 2005 — moving 164,690 units. The slow week helped Fergie jump from number five to number two, despite dropping 4 percent in sales, to 48,590, and the Hannah Montana 2 soundtrack jumped from four to three despite slumping 20 percent to 46,976. Debuts: Michigan hardcore band Chiodos entered at number five, selling 38,696 albums. The next new record doesn’t come until number forty-one, where metal quartet Every Time I Die landed. At number forty-eight, Christian act Israel & New Breed sold 11,703, and global fusion star Manu Chao debuted at seventy-one. Expect considerably bigger action in this space next week. Last Week’s Sales Heroes?: Devotion act Casting Crowns dropped from number two to four in its second week of release. Atlanta rapper Yung Joc took a bigger slide, from three to eleven. Atreyu dropped even further, from eight to twenty-nine, and Ben Harper sank from number nine to twenty-four. The Hairspray soundtrack, Now! 25, and, of course, Nickelback, remain top-ten fixtures.
