Rod Stewart claims his fourth No. 1 album

Rod Stewart 's latest foray into cover songs, "Still the Same ... Great American Rock Classics of Our Time," sold 184,000 copies during its first week in stores to claim the No. 1 slot on the US album chart.

That marks the fourth No. 1 album of Stewart's career, and pushes last week's top-selling album, Evanescence 's "The Open Door," into the No. 2 slot on The Billboard 200 chart with 164,000 copies sold.

Lloyd Banks ' "Rotten Apples" enters the chart at No. 3 with 143,000 copies sold, according to Billboard, which bases its album chart on Nielsen SoundScan retail-sales reports.

Jimmy Buffett 's "Take the Weather With You" reportedly sold 143,000 copies during its first week in stores to grab the No. 4 position, while Tony Bennett 's "Duets: An American Classic" fell one notch to No. 5 with 105,000 copies sold.

Rounding out the Top 10 are The Killers' "Sam's Town," Justin Timberlake's "FutureSex/LoveSounds," George Strait's "It Just Comes Natural," Hinder's "Extreme Behavior" and Ludacris' "Release Therapy."
