AC/DC Rocks Album Chart Once Again

AC/DC rocked the U.S. album chart for the second week in a row, as “Black Ice” lingered on the first position of the Billboard 200.

The band sold 271,000 copies of their new album during the week ended November 2, according to estimates by Nielsen SoundScan, thus reaching a two-week total of over one million units. The album can be purchased only through Wal-Mart, Sam’s Club and AC/DC’s Web site.

Pink’s “Funhouse” debuted at No. 2 with 180,000 copies in the artist’s highest sales week in seven years. In addition, the second spot on the chart represents the singer’s best position ever.

The soundtrack to teen hit movie “High School Musical 3: Senior Year” fell one place to No. 3, selling 162,000 copies a couple of weeks after its release. John Legend’s “Evolver” opened at No. 4 with 133,000 units, while Toby Keith’s “That Don’t Make Me a Bad Guy” came in fifth with 91,000 copies.

Rascal Flatt’s hit compilation debuted at No. 6 with 89,000 copies, followed by T.I.’s “Paper Trail,” which slipped four places with 77,000 units. Celine Dion’s “My Love: Essential Collection” entered at No. 8 with 57,000 copies, while Snow Patrol registered its best chart placement with “A Hundred Million Suns,” opening at No. 9 with 48,000 units.

Kenny Chesney’s “Lucky Old Sun” dropped six places to No. 10 with 41,000 copies, while Ryan Adams & The Cardinals’ “Cardinology” did not make it to top 10. The album claimed the eleventh position with 40,000 sold units.
