Charts: Disturbed notches third No. 1 debut

"Indestructible," the latest set from nu-metal rockers Disturbed , lays claim to the top spot on the forthcoming Billboard 200 chart, making it the group's third consecutive album to debut at No. 1.

The feat earns Disturbed the distinction of becoming only the seventh rock act to score three consecutive No. 1 debuts, according to Billboard, which lists the others as: Van Halen, U2, Metallica, Dave Matthews Band, Staind and System of a Down.

With sales of about 252,000 copies, "Indestructible" easily outdistances the 28th installment of the "NOW! That's What I Call Music" hits-compilation series, which moved about 185,000 copies its first week out to land at No. 2 on The Billboard 200, which is based on Nielsen SoundScan sales figures.

Usher 's "Here I Stand," which entered the chart at No. 1 last week, slips to No. 3 with sales of about 145,000 copies, while Weezer 's third self-titled set checks in at No. 4 with first-week sales of about 126,000 copies.

Journey 's "Revelation"--the latest in an ever-growing string of albums released exclusively through retail giant Wal-Mart--moved about 105,000 copies during its first week on store shelves, placing it at No. 5.

Rounding out the Top 10 are: Ashanti 's "The Declaration" at No. 6, the "Sex in the City" soundtrack at No. 7, Jewel 's "Perfectly Clear" at No. 8, 3 Doors Down 's self-titled set at No. 9 and Chris Brown 's "Exclusive" at No. 10.
