Incubus shoots to No. 1 with 'Light Grenades'
Rockers Incubus have scored the first No. 1 album of their career, selling 165,000 copies of their latest set, "Light Grenades," during its first week in stores.
"Light Grenades" held off a charge from the resurgent Disney soundtrack "Hannah Montana," which sold 157,000 copies and jumps from No. 7 to No. 2 on The Billboard 200 album chart. "Daughtry," the debut set from "American Idol" finalist Chris Daughtry, falls one slot to No. 3, according to Billboard, which bases its album chart on Nielsen SoundScan retail-sales reports.
The hits compilation "NOW 23" slips one rung to No. 4 with 154,000 sold, and The Beatles "Love" falls one place to No. 5 with 146,000.
Jay-Z's "Kingdom Come" tumbles from No. 1 to No. 6, with an 80-percent decrease in sales from the previous week. Rounding out the Top 10 are Sarah Mclachlan's "Wintersong," Akon's "Konvicted," Josh Groban's "Awake" and the holiday compilation "NOW That's What I Call Christmas 3."
