Hits-laden 'NOW 24' compilation leads US chart
During its second week in stores, the 24th edition of the highly successful "NOW That's What I Call Music!" hits-compilation series moves up one notch to top the US album chart.
Fans snapped up 213,000 copies "NOW 24" last week, enough to knock Tim McGraw 's "Let it Go"--which sold 177,000 units and debuted at No. 1 a week ago--down to the No. 2 slot, according to Billboard, which bases its album chart on Nielsen SoundScan retail data.
Martina McBride 's "Waking Up Laughing" makes its debut at No. 3, with 144,000 copies sold, and Hilary Duff 's "Dignity" moved 140,000 copies to debut at No. 4 on The Billboard 200 chart.
Timbaland 's "Timbaland Presents Shock Value" sold 138,000 copies during its first week out, and debuts at No. 5, according to Billboard.
Rounding out the Top 10 are Beyonce 's "B'Day" (which was re-issued last week as a double-disc with six new songs), Daughtry's self-titled debut, Paul Wall's "Get Money, Stay True," Akon's "Konvicted" and Alison Krauss' "A Hundred Miles or More: A Collection."
