The Beatles’ “1” (Capitol) rebounds into the top slot on the album chart this week after spending two weeks behind Backstreet Boys [ tickets ]’ “Black & Blue” (Jive), according to Capitol Records. The latest from teen soprano Charlotte Church [ tickets ] muscles its way into the Top 10, meanwhile, and Rage Against the Machine’s “Renegades” falls shy of a Top 10 debut, according to industry sources.

In a sales surge likely spurred by the anniversary of John Lennon’s death, “1” moved another 670,673 copies last week, according to Capitol. The album, which contains all 27 of the Liverpool quartet’s U.S. and U.K. chart-topping hits, debuted at No. 1 three weeks ago, and then spent two weeks at No. 2 courtesy of the Backstreet Boys’ No. 1 debut, “Black & Blue.”

The Fab Four’s return to the top of the charts leaves “Black & Blue” in the No. 2 slot this week. Backstreet Boys [ tickets ] have plotted a North American tour in support of the disc that is scheduled to kick off late next month. Much of the tour has already sold out, though tickets to some recently added dates are set to go on sale on Saturday (12/16).

Compilation album “Now That’s What I Call Music! Vol. 5” (Columbia) spends its third consecutive week at No. 3, riding on the strength of its 19 tracks-worth of previously released hits from acts such as 'NSync, Destiny's Child, Britney Spears [ tickets ], Backstreet Boys, Everclear, Bon Jovi and others.

Creed [ tickets ]’s “Human Clay” (Wind Up) holds its ground at No. 4 for the second week straight. The album suddenly surged back into the Top 10 last week following the band’s high-profile appearances on VH1’s “My VH1 Awards” and “Behind the Music” programs.

Britney Spears’ “Oops! … I Did It Again” (Jive), meanwhile, continues its resurgence, landing this week at No. 5, up from No. 8 last week. The move pushes country singer Tim McGraw’s “Greatest Hits” (Curb) down to No. 6.

Singer Charlotte Church [ tickets ] lunges into the Top 10 with “Dream a Dream” (Sony Classics), a 19-track album which features the 13-year-old Welsh soprano delivering renditions of classic holiday songs. Church, whose album was released in October, made a string of recent U.S. television appearances, including spots on ABC’s “Live With Regis,” NBC’s “Christmas Pageant of Peace” and TNN’s “Billy Gilman Christmas Special.” The 12-year-old Gilman appears on “Dream a Dream,” where he and Church perform a duet of the album’s title track.

Limp Bizkit’s “Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water” (Flip/Interscope) dips one spot to No. 8 this week, followed by the Baha Men’s “Who Let the Dogs Out” (S-Curve), which makes an unlikely jump back into the Top 10 after spending the past couple of weeks at No. 12.

‘NSync’s “No Strings Attached” (Jive), almost surely buoyed by its probable inclusion on many a teen’s holiday gift list, continues to hold on to the bottom rung of the Top 10 for the second week straight after rebounding from its No. 17 position of two weeks ago.

Rage Against the Machine clocks in at No. 14 with “Renegades” (Epic), this week’s highest-charting debut. The disc features Rage's renditions of 12 cover songs, including the Rolling Stones’ “Street Fighting Man,” Cypress Hill’s “How I Could Just Kill a Man,” and Bruce Springsteen’s “The Ghost of Tom Joad.” “Renegades” was recorded shortly before lead singer Zach de la Rocha’s October departure from the group.
