Album Chart: Bob Dylan's scores fifth No. 1
"Together Through Life," the latest album from folk-rock legend Bob Dylan , outsold the competition during its first week in stores, and will make its debut atop the US album chart.
Dylan's new set moved 125,000 copies during its inaugural week, according to Nielsen SoundScan retail data as reported by Billboard. That total earns the veteran troubadour his fifth No. 1 entry on The Billboard 200 chart, and second consecutive chart-topper; 2006's "Modern Times" debuted in the top slot, as well.
Behind "Together Through Life," the " Hannah Montana : the Movie" soundtrack hangs on to the No. 2 slot with sales of 86,000 copies; Rascal Flatts ' "Unstoppable" moves up a notch to No. 3 with 53,000; Rick Ross ' "Deeper Than Rap," which debuted in the No. 1 slot last week, drops to No. 4 with 51,000 copies; and Lady GaGa's "The Fame" climbs two rungs to No. 5 with 40,000 copies.
Rounding out the Top 10 are the "Twilight" soundtrack at No. 6 with 35,000 copies sold; the "Now 30" hits compilation at No. 7 with 33,000; Heaven and Hell 's self-titled debut at No. 8 with 30,000; Taylor Swift 's "Fearless" at No. 9 with 29,000; and the "Playing for Change" compilation debuts at No. 10 with 26,000.
