Checking in at No. 4 is Bob Seger 's first new studio set in more than a decade, "Face the Promise," which sold more than 150,000 copies in its debut week, according to Capitol Records. Bob Dylan 's "Modern Times" sold 93,000 copies, and slipped two rungs to No. 5.
Rounding out the Top 10, according to Billboard, are Lionel Richie's "Coming Home," Hinder's "Extreme Behavior," Danity Kane's self-titled debut, The Mars Volta's "Amputechture" and Nickelback's "All the Right Reasons."
