Bruce Springsteen edges out Kid Rock for No. 1
In a week when no single album sold more than 80,000 copies, Bruce Springsteen 's "Magic" returns to the top of the US album chart.
"Magic," which debuted at No. 1 three weeks ago, sold 77,000 more copies during its most recent week in stores, enough to reclaim the slot.
Kid Rock 's "Rock N Roll Jesus" also sold about 77,000 copies--but was edged out by a couple hundred sold--and falls one notch to No. 2 on The Billboard 200 chart. Billboard bases its chart on Nielsen SoundScan retail sales reports.
Rascal Flatts ' "Still Feels Good" stays put at No. 3 with 70,000 sold, according to Billboard.
Josh Groban 's "Noel" jumps from No. 10 to No. 4 on sales of 64,000 copies, while Jimmy Eat World 's "Chase This Light" enters the chart at No. 5, with 62,000 sold.
Rounding out the Top 10 are Reba McEntire 's "Reba Duets," the "High School Musical 2" soundtrack, Santana 's "Ultimate Santana," Kanye West 's "Graduation" and Colbie Caillat 's "Coco."
