April 25, 2007 04:10 PM
Canadian pop-rocker Avril Lavigne tops the US album chart with her new set, "The Best Damn Thing," which sold 286,000 copies during its first week in stores.

Nine Inch Nails ' "Year Zero" enters The Billboard 200 chart at No. 2 on sales of 187,000 copies, pushing last week's No. 1 album, the "NOW 23" hits compilation, to No. 3. Billboard bases its album chart on Nielsen SoundScan retail-sales data.

Country singer Bucky Covington --who finished eighth on the fifth season of "American Idol"--sold 61,000 copies of his self-titled debut album, enough to chart at No. 4. Martina McBride 's "Waking Up Laughing" jumps from No. 8 to No. 5 with sales of 55,000.

Rounding out the Top 10 are Akon 's "Konvicted," Daughtry's self-titled debut, Tim McGraw's "Let it Go," Carrie Underwood's "Some Hearts" and Timbaland's "Timbaland Presents Shock Value."
