MUSIC: Korn Pops Into Second Place as Eminem Stays on Top
Consumers couldn't do without Eminem for the fourth week in a row as "The Eminem Show" topped the album sales chart for the week ending June 16, according to SoundScan.
In its third full week of release, Eminem's latest sold nearly 530,000 copies, a modest 35% dip from last week. That lifted its total to a 2.94 million, or about a third of the 8.7 million the rapper's previous album "The Marshall Mathers LP" has sold to date.
Korn's first album in two-and-a-half years, "Untouchables," bowed in second place on sales of 434,125. The band's last album "Issues" moved 574,000 units in its first week in 1999, though that was during the busier Christmas shopping season. Their previous four albums have sold over 10 million copies combined.
New Found Glory scored a strong 91,225 and No. 4 debut for "Sticks and Stones," the group's third album. Their previous, eponymous release has sold 414,000 so far, peaking at No. 107.
"The Osbournes Family Album," music from the hit MTV show featuring daughter Kelly's remake of Madonna's "Papa Don't Preach," debuted at No. 13 on sales of 56,550.
David Bowie enjoyed his highest-charting debut since 1984's "Tonight" with his latest Heathen." The album sold 55,025 copies at No. 14.
In its 77th week of release, the perennial "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" jumped 12 spots to No. 7 on a 60% sales increase to 78,500, ranking yet again as the No. 1 soundtrack and country album. Total sales have climbed to around 5.5 million.
"Spider-Man" was the second best selling soundtrack at No. 18, followed by Scooby-Doo, which leapt 20 spots to No. 38. Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood" and "Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron" followed at No. 40 and No. 55 respectively.
Disney's "Lilo & Stitch" kicked off at No. 57, while "Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones" fell 19 spots to No. 95.
