 According to Billboard, Slipknot's "All Hope Is Gone" barely wins out over the Game's "LAX" in
the race for No. 1 on The Billboard 200 this week. The Roadrunner set
moved 239,516 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen
SoundScan, only 1,134 more than the rapper's Geffen album at 238,382.
This marks the first No. 1 for the masked hard rockers, who scored a
No. 2 with 2004's "Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses" and a No. 3 with
2001's "Iowa" (named for the group's home state). The Game's last two
efforts, 2006's "Doctor's Advocate" and 2005's "The Documentary," both
debuted at No. 1.
Kid Rock's "Rock N
Roll Jesus" (Atlantic) takes an 11% sales hit to 89,000, falling 2-3.
After two weeks at No. 1, the Jonas' Brothers' Hollywood set "A Little
Bit Longer" slides to No. 4 with 80,000 (-45%).
The
"Mamma Mia!" soundtrack (Decca) slips 4-5 on an 11% decrease to 78,000.
With only a 5% loss in sales, Lil Wayne's "Tha Carter III" (Cash
Money/Universal) climbs a slot 7-6 with 54,000.
The
multi-label compilation "Now That's What I Call Country," the latest
version of the successful "Now" series, debuts at No. 7 with 50,000.
Other spin-offs of the hits-based collections include Christmas tunes,
Latin music, No. 1s, '80s hits and classic rock. Of these offshoots,
only the "Now No. 1s" set boasted a bigger opening week, when it
started at No. 6 with 90,000.
