Chart Watch: Janet, Tim McGraw
May 2 -- TOP 10: Janet Jackson's chart-topping single "All for You" lured more than half a million fans into record stores last week to pick up copies of her new album of the same name. With more than 605,000 copies rung up, Jackson easily takes the top of the Billboard Top 200 albums chart away from the sixth volume of Now That's What I Call Music, which drops to No. 3, selling another 203,000 copies.
In between the two of them is another new album — Tim McGraw's Set This Circus Down, which sells 223,000 in its first week on the shelves. Tupac Shakur's Until the End of Time comes in at No. 4, selling 110,000, while R&B singer Case, with the help of the hit "Missing You," sells almost 93,000 copies of his third album, Open Letter, to debut at No. 5.
Shaggy's Hot Shot, the year's top-seller, comes in at No. 6 with another 90,000 copies, while Uncle Kracker's Double Wide climbs two notches to No. 7, selling another 67,000. Lifehouse and No Name Face fall from No. 6 to No. 8, with sales of 66,000, and Dido sells another 62,000 copies of No Angel at No. 9. Rounding things out at No. 10 is Nelly's Country Grammar, which moves yet another 61,000 copies.
ALMOST FAMOUS: Two weeks ago it was No. 22, and last week it was No. 13. This week, Eve's Scorpion moves to No. 11, selling more than 60,000 copies — about 500 fewer than it needed to crack the Top 10 once again.
NOTABLE DEBUTS: Outside of the Top 10, three of the four Gibb brothers proved they are still very much alive, as their new Bee Gees album, This Is Where I Came In, made a surprise debut at No. 16, selling 54,000 copies.
Fear Factory's Digimortal sells 37,000 at No. 32, while the latest Ally McBeal soundtrack — which includes vocal contributions from infamous guest star Robert Downey Jr. — enters the chart at No. 34, appropriately selling 34,000 copies. New York rapper KRS-One's The Sneak Attack sneaked into more than 30,000 CD players, capturing slot No. 43. Further down, G. Love and Special Sauce go the Electric Mile at No. 138, selling almost 9,600 copies.
