Jack Johnson’s brand new album, “Sleep Through the Static,” is certainly not the static kind – it rushed to the top of the Billboard 200, swiftly taking the No. 1 spot from Sheryl Crow and setting 2008’s first record: more than 374,600 copies sold during week one.

Jack Johnson’s newest studio offering, “Sleep Through the Static,” flied off the shelves during its first week, with more than 374,600 copies finding new homes for themselves, according to Nielsen SoundScan. This makes Johnson’s album the best-selling new release of the year.

Sheryl Crow saw her new album, “Detours,” debut at No. 2, with 92,300 copies, a modest success by comparison. Alicia Keys’ “As I Am,” by now a veteran on the charts, slipped to No. 3, with an additional 80,200 sold units.

We find another new release at No. 4, Lenny Kravitz’s “It Is Time for a Love Revolution,” which sold 73,300 copies. Kravitz announced earlier this week that he would postpone his upcoming European tour in support of the new album due to a bout of bronchitis. His first stop was scheduled for London next Monday, followed by a performance in Brussels, Belgium.

Meanwhile, the 2008 Grammy Nominees compilation sold 51,700 copies, at No. 5, followed by the “Juno,” which sold another 47,200 units.

Mary J. Blige’s December release, “Growing Pains,” is still in the charts, holding at No. 7 with 44,600 in sales. k.d. lang’s “Watershed” makes its debut at No. 8, with 41,000 copies, while “Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus” follows at No. 9, with another 40,000 units.

Taylor Swift’s self-titled debut rounds up at No. 10, with 38,700 sold copies.

Another high debut is the soundtrack to “Step Up 2: The Streets,” featuring tracks by Flo Rida, Missy Elliott, Cassie, T-Pain and others, with some 31,500 units, at No. 13. The soundtrack is closely followed by Kenny G’s “Rhythm & Romance,” which had first-week sales of little over 31,000.

Jack Johnson will headline the Bonnaroo Music Festival on Sunday, June 15th, 2008. He also embarks on a world tour next month, with shows in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Germany, UK, Spain and Portugal.
