Slash has the highest charting debut this week on the Billboard 200. His eponymous solo album reached No. 3 with 60,000 copies sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The former Guns N' Roses and Velvet Revolver member's first solo effort boasts iconic collaborations by Iggy Pop, Ozzy Osbourne, Dave Grohl, Fergie, Sound Garden's Chris Cornell and Kid Rock, as well as Wolfmother's Andrew Stockdale on the lead single 'By the Sword.'Justin Bieber switches places with Usher this week, with his sophomore effort 'My World 2.0' shifting back up to No. 1 with 102,000 copies sold. Bieber's mentor Usher follows the tween sensation's lead with 'Raymond v Raymond' selling 92,000 copies last week.
The only other debut in Billboard's top 10 is Madonna's 'Sticky & Sweet Tour,' which came in at No. 10 with 28,000 copies sold. 'Sticky & Sweet Tour' marks Madonna's 19th Top 10 and third live release.
Shifters are Lady Antebellum's 'Need You Now' up one spot at No. 4 with 57,000, the compilation album 'Now 33' down two spots at No. 5 with 53,000, Monica's 'Still Standing' at No. 6 with 38,000 and GaGa's 'The Fame' at No. 7 with 32,000. Justin Bieber's first effort 'My World' stays at No. 8 with almost 30,000 and Erykah Badu's 'New Amerykah, Part Two' falls to No. 9, also just missing the 30,000 mark.
1. I listen to mostly jazz music. While listening to my favorite radio channel, I herd a beautiful Spanish guitar. Imagine my surprise when they said the artist was Slash. The song title is "obsession confession". Please tell me where to find this!
Thank you
