Twain Remains 'Up' Top On Billboard Chart

Even though Tim McGraw had his best sales week ever, his latest album didn't move enough copies to dethrone Shania Twain's "Up" from the top of either The Billboard 200 or the Top Country Albums tally. Twain's Mercury set holds the No. 1 post on both charts for a second week after selling another 623,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Some top ten pop list. Three country albums, a soundtrack, a compilation, and a record by a dead guy.

Is this really what people want to hear?

bigjim25

It don't bother me. I have 8 of the top 10. The only ones I don't have are 2pac (which I plan to get) & NOW 11. One reason these might be selling good is because Shania Twain, Tim McGraw, 8 Mile, NOW 11, JLo, Faith Hill, Avril Lavigne, & Christina Aguilera CDs could be found for $8.99-$9.99 Thanksgiving week. Also Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, & Paul McCartney had concert specials on this week promoting their CDs.

2PAC "BETTER DAYZ", it's a MUST GET/HAVE...

Copenhagen

Go country music

Rogue588

Country? I didn't see any Country on the chart.

And Jenny.Lo only debuted at number 5???

Ooooooooo Ben's gonna be paying for this...

Frank TJ Mackey

wow, surprised 2pac didn't debut higher.

oh well, it'll go platinum and continue to stay in the top 10

Deftones

damn. too bad System of a Down didn't debut higher either. I think alot of people didn't even know the disc was coming out.

conscience

My thoughts exactly.

But wait:

The top ten boasts one half of a country album!!! Sort of.

Rypro 525

how many bonnie and clyde songs are we gonna have? we have this one, the one eminem did and the one tori amos did

To the 2Pac fans on this thread...I don't know how I came across it, but I found a review for Jay-Z's new disc a while ago before it was released. They mentioned Jay-Z saying something about 2Pac on a song with Faith & how he "sampled" from some old 2Pac song [Toni Braxton did too].

Anyways...the reviewer [who was obviously more of a rap fan than I] said that Jay should stop bringing up 2Pac's name, since there was no love between them when 2Pac was alive. Was there a beef that was overlooked during the whole East/West war?

I'd appreciate a cliff note version or even a link.

Thanks.

gerrythedon

Just wait 'till the THUGZ MANZION(acoutic) video debuts FRIDAY, DEC 13...then the MY BLOCK video...It'll sell more and more + it's a GREAT FK'n ALBUM...

Also, don't forget the recent Top 5 Modern Day Bonnie & Clyde by Travis Tritt.

I thought I hated country until I realized I hadn't really heard it before.

neo247

On 2pac's Mavakeli album, it says that jay-z (Hawaii sophie fame) was trying to kill 2pac. And in the song bomb first which is also the intro he says " I'm a Bad Boy Killa, Jay-Z die too". He was saying this because Jay-Z was really close to The Notorious B.I.G.
I hope this answers your question.

Rogue588

Cool. Thanks for the 411 neo.
