Britney Spears [ tickets ]' third album, the eponymous "Britney," will top the next edition of the Billboard 200 album chart thanks to first-week sales of about 746,000 copies, according to industry sources. The album is joined in the Top 10 by debuts from Pink Floyd [ tickets ] and George Strait.

Brisk sales of "Britney" have garnered the album the second highest first-week total of the year, behind 'NSync's "Celebrity," which moved about 1.8 million copies in its first week out. Spears' 2000 release, "Oops! … I Did It Again," sold about 1.4 million in its chart-topping debut week, and holds the record for highest first-week sales by a female artist. Spears' 1999 debut, " … Baby One More Time," also debuted at No. 1.

A half-million copies behind "Britney" is the No. 2 debut of Pink Floyd's "Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd" (Capitol), a two-disc set that chronicles the band's career.

The new debuts at the top of the chart push both Michael Jackson's "Invincible" (Epic) and Enrique Iglesias' "Escape" (Interscope)--which last week debuted in the No. 1 and No. 2 spots, respectively--down two notches each to No. 3 and No. 4.

The only Top 10 album not displaced by this week's activity is Enya's "A Day Without Rain" (Reprise), which will stay put at No. 5 for the second week in a row.

DMX's "The Great Depression" (Def Jam) and Backstreet Boys' "Hits -- Chapter One" (Jive)--which last week sat at No. 3 and No. 4, respectively--drop three spots each to No. 6 and No. 7 this week.

Debuting at No. 9 is "The Road Less Traveled" (MCA Nashville), the latest from country veteran George Strait. The album features Strait's latest hit, "Run," which sits at No. 7 on trade publication Radio & Records' latest Country airplay chart.

Closing out the Top 10 is rapper Ja Rule's "Pain Is Love" (Def Jam), which has now broken the million-sales mark, according to industry sources.

Falling just short of a Top 10 debut is Petey Pablo's "Diary of a Sinner: 1st Entry" (Jive) at No. 13 and Faith Evans' "Faithfully" (Bad Boy/Arista) at No. 14.
