Destiny's Child's Survivor spent just two weeks in the top spot on The
Billboard 200 as the latest effort from Tool, Lateralus, debuts at No. 1
behind a whopping 555,000 in sales in its first week.
In addition to the U.S. charts, Lateralus also debuted in the No. 1 spot in
Canada and Australia and marks Tool's highest debut and biggest selling week
ever. The album also debuted in the top 5 or top 10 in various other countries,
such as New Zealand and Norway (No. 2), Germany (No. 5), Holland (No. 7),
Sweden (No. 8), and Austria (No. 9).
But Tool wasn't the only shake up in the top 10 this week as four additional
albums found their way into the fray during their first week out as well.
Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott's Miss E…So Addictive landed at No. 2 with just
over 250,000 in sales; Weezer's self-titled third album hit No. 4 on 215,000
scans; R.E.M.'s Reveal grabbed the No. 6 spot on 126,000 in sales; and
Depeche Mode's Exciter hit No. 9 on the strength of 114,000 units sold.
Destiny's Child fell to No. 3 in the alt-rock whirlwind.
Other notable debuts include Megadeth's The World Needs a Hero at No. 16;
Olivia's self-titled debut at No. 55; the Go-Go's God Bless the Go-Go's at
No. 57; Syleena Johnson's Chapter One -- Love, Pain, and Forgiveness at No.
101; the soundtrack to Shrek, featuring Smash Mouth, Rufus Wainwright, and
Baha Men, at No. 102; Cowboy Junkies' Open at No. 107; String Cheese
Incident's Outside Inside at No. 147; and Buddy Guy's Sweet Tea at No. 162.
