Jack Johnson 's "Sleep Through the Static" has logged its second consecutive week at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 album chart, selling about 180,000 copies in the US over the past week.
Johnson held off a resurgent Amy Winehouse 's "Back to Black," which--thanks to the singer's recent Grammy performance and wins--sold 115,000 copies to bounce from No. 24 to 2 on the chart, according to Billboard.
Alicia Keys ' "As I Am" moved another 109,000 copies and holds steady at No. 3 on the chart, according to Billboard, which bases its album chart on Nielsen SoundScan retail reports.
The "2008 Grammy Nominees" compilation moves up one rung to No. 5 on sales of 72,000, while Herbie Hancock 's Album of the Year Grammy winner "River: The Joni Letters" rocketed from No. 159 to No. 5 on sales of 54,000.
Rounding out the Top 10 are the "Juno" soundtrack, Taylor Swift 's self-titled debut, Sheryl Crow 's "Detours," Mary J. Blige 's "Growing Pains" and the "Step Up 2" soundtrack.
