(8/25/99, 1 p.m. PDT) - No big surprise this week: The Backstreet Boys
remain on top of the SoundScan
charts, for sales of approximately 242,555 copies. There's plenty of
interesting action throughout the
rest of the top 10, however.
Mary J. Blige's Mary makes the most impressive debut this week, coming
in at No. 2 for sales of
approximately 239,186. Also bowing in the top 10 is rapper Mobb Deep,
whose Murda Muzik enters at an
almost equally impressive No. 3. These two entries subsequently manage
to knock former second-placers
Limp Bizkit down to No. 4 for the week, and former third slot-holder
Britney Spears to No. 5.
Elsewhere in the top 10, the various-artist compilation Now That's What
I Call Music Vol. 2 falls one place
to No. 6, and Ricky Martin's self-titled English-language debut takes
a dive from No. 4 to No. 7. The
Runaway Bride soundtrack and Kid Rock's Devil Without A Cause both
fall two places, to No. 8 and No. 9,
respectively. Santana's Supernatural is the only steady holder in the
top 10 besides Backstreet, clinging
firmly to the No. 10 spot.
Other notable debuts this week include the In Too Deep soundtrack at
No. 28, the Source Music Awards
1999 disc at No. 53, the Moody Blues' Strange Times at No. 93, and
John Mellencamp's Rough Harvest at
No. 99.
