Linkin Park got some competition this week
from Godsmack and the Bean Town rockers smacked the rap-rock boys out of
the top spot on the Billboard Album charts.
Godsmack’s third album “Faceless” sold
267,000 copies this past week and will debut at No. 1 on the charts. This
marks the first time Godsmack has landed at No. 1. Ironically, first week
sales of this album are only slightly higher than the group’s last effort
“Awake”.
Linkin Park got bumped down to the No.
2 spot with sales of 186,000 copies this past week. 50 Cent’s landed at
No. 3, moving 159,000 copies of “Get Rich or Die Tryin’”. Lisa Marie Presley
rounded out the Top 5 with her debut album, “To Whom It May Concern,” with
sales of 142,000 copies for the daughter of the King.
Will Godsmack remain in the top spot for
two weeks in a row? Many doubt that since Fleetwood Mac released
their highly anticipated new studio album, “Say You Will,” this week that
is predicted to shoot straight to the top.
