Flogging Molly breaks its own charting record, selling 48,000 to debut at No. 4. The Black Crowes ' "Warpaint" debuts at No. 5 with 46,000 units sold, the band's highest charting debut week in 16 years, according to Billboard..

Erykah Badu 's "4th World War," Sara Bareilles ' "Little Voice," Alicia Keys ' "As I Am," Taylor Swift 's self titled debut, and Amy Winehouse 's "Back to Black" round out the Top 10.
