With a Bullet: Today's Charts
- Posted on Sep 5th 2007 1:30PM by Gaylord Fields
Score one for the good guys! And let it be known that there is no guy gooder than Lyle Lovett. The long, tall Texan, ably assisted by his little-bit-country, little-bit-everything-else Large Band, secured a Top 20 debut with his 'It's Not Big It's Large' album. Not a lot of people could recover from either a failed marriage with Julia Roberts or being gored by a bull -- but the lanky Lovett has not only survived both but subsequently bounced back to see his latest release enter the charts at No. 18, selling 25,000 in its first week. Sorry, Hollywood -- Lyle's still got a lot of fine music to make before he completely succumbs to the siren's song of the silver screen.- Other notable debuts this week include 'Lifeline,' by singer-songwriter Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals, at No. 9, with 41,000 sold; 'None Shall Pass,' by indie hip-hop MC Aesop Rock, at No. 50, moving 13,000; and Germany's hard-rocking, pension-pulling Scorpions, whose 'Humanity -- Hour 1,' featuring a guest appearance by Billy Corgan, debuted at No. 63, with 10,000 in sales.
The top five albums for the week ending September 2:
- 'High School Musical 2,' Soundtrack (210,000 in 3rd week; 1,192,000 total)
- 'The Altar and the Door,' Casting Crowns (129,000 in 1st week)
- 'Hustlenomics,' Yung Joc (69,000 in 1st week)
- 'Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus,' Soundtrack (58,000 in 10th week; 1,203,000 total)
- 'The Dutchess,' Fergie (51,000 in 50th week; 2,590,000 total)
