April 25 -- TOP 10: In a slow sales week, 80,000 copies wasn't enough to dislodge Now That's What I Call Music! Volume 6 from the top spot, but it was enough to earn Brooks & Dunn's Steers & Stripes the No. 4 chart position. Now 6, on the other hand, sold almost 249,000 copies at No. 1, while Tupac Shakur's Until the End of Time followed with 128,000 sold, and Shaggy's Hot Shot came in at No. 3, selling more than 101,000.

Sunshine Anderson's Your Woman, another new entry, sold more than 74,000 to come in at No. 5, while Lifehouse's No Name Face finally breaks into the Top 10 at No. 6, selling 69,000. Nelly's Country Grammar comes in at No. 7, selling 66,000, and Dido's No Angel is this week's No. 8, selling 65,000. At No. 9, Double Wide from Uncle Kracker finds its place, while Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water sells another 63,000 copies, earning Limp Bizkit the No. 10 spot, and pushing the album's total U.S. sales past 5 million.

NOTABLE DEBUTS: DJ Angie Martinez's debut, Up Close & Personal, sells almost 37,00 copies to bow at No. 32, and David Gray's Lost Songs comes in at No. 153, selling 8,400.

WHO'S HOT: Eve sees the chart position of her Scorpion jump from No. 22 to No. 13, even though the sales actually decrease by more than 1,000 copies. Thank you, soft economy. Further down, the Bridget Jones's Diary soundtrack moves from No. 111 to No. 38, and Billy Idol's new greatest-hits set jumps from No. 120 to No. 74.

WHO'S NOT: Backstreet brother Aaron Carter bounded to No. 4 with Aaron's Party (Come Get It) last week, only to drop to No. 20 this time out, selling 45,000 copies less than half of the previous week's total.

BIG PICTURE: The top 200 albums on the Billboard chart sold almost 4.5 million copies last week about 1.5 million fewer than one week ago.

BOTTOM FEEDING: This week's No. 200: Mary Mary's Thankful, which sells 5,895 copies to earn the honor.
