COMPARISONS: "C'mon, C'mon" marks the biggest week of sales for Sheryl Crow and her highest chart position, despite the fact that her first three albums have sold 8.6 million copies combined. Her last album, 1998's "The Globe Sessions," bowed at No. 5 on sales of 123,000 units.
OTHER DEBUTS: Phish's latest batch of live albums -- six in all -- debuted in the top 200, landing at Nos. 128, 138, 141, 145, 147 and 154 on sales of more than 45,000 units combined. "Vol. 7: 8/14/93, World Music Theatre, Tinley Park, Illinois" was the most popular among the six, selling over 8,000 copies.
CLIMBERS: Aside from the notable rise of classically-trained singer and Ally McBeal guest star Josh Groban into the top 10, Norah Jones saw her debut "Come Away With Me" jump five spots to No. 37 after a leap of nine places last week. Her sales have reached over 160,000 after eight weeks. Meanwhile, No Doubt's "Rock Steady" gained 13 spot to No.25, selling nearly 35,000.
