Backstreet Boys stay in the No. 1 spot on The Billboard 200 for the
second consecutive week, as their
Jive album "Millennium" racks up sales of another 250,000 units, according
to SoundScan. It's the second
major triumph for the Boys in the past seven days, as the group also
set records earlier this week by
selling out all 53 dates of its North American tour in one day.
Also staying put, at No. 2, is Limp Bizkit's "Significant Other" (Flip/Interscope),
which logs sales of
192,500 units. Thanks to her sold-out tour, Britney Spears' "...Baby
One More Time" (Jive) jumps back to
No. 3 on sales of 139,000 units.
This week's highest debut is "Violator The Album" (Violator/Def Jam/IDJMG),
which enters at No. 8
(116,000 units). The set features tracks by such well-known rappers
as Q-Tip, Noreaga, and Busta
Rhymes.
Other top bows on The Billboard 200 include Roots member Rahzel's "Make
The Music 2000" (MCA), No.
51; the first solo set by former SWV singer Coko, "Hot Coko" (RCA),
No. 68; the latest from industrial
group Machine Head, "The Burning Red" (Roadrunner), No. 88; and another
disc by Southern rock
stalwarts Lynyrd Skynyrd, "Edge Of Forever" (CMC International), No.
96.
Over on The Billboard Hot 100, Christina Aguilera fends off an aggressive
advance by Enrique Iglesias.
The former's "Genie In A Bottle" (RCA) remains No. 1 for a fifth straight
week, while the latter's
"Bailamos" (Overbrook/Interscope) vaults up nine places to No. 2. LFO's
"Summer Girls" (Arista) skips up
a spot to No. 3.
