Evanescence claims No. 1 on album chart

Evanescence 's "The Open Door" sold more than 447,000 copies during its first week in stores, enough to give the goth-rockers their first No. 1 album on The Billboard 200 album chart.

Fellow rockers The Killers claimed the No. 2 spot with their sophomore album, "Sam's Town," which sold 315,000 copies over the last week, according to Billboard, which bases its album chart on Nielsen SoundScan retail-sales reports.

Country mainstay George Strait 's "It Juts Comes Natural" enters the chart at No. 3, while crooner Tony Bennett 's "Duets: An American Classic" falls one notch to No. 4. Boy-band graduate Justin Timberlake 's "Futuresex/LoveSounds" holds down the No. 5 slot for the second consecutive week.

Rounding out the Top 10 are Ludacris' "Release Therapy" (last week's No. 1 album), Beck's "The Information," Monica's "The Makings of Me," Janet Jackson's "20 Y.O.," and Hinder's "Extreme Behavior."
