Fans snapped up nearly 235,000 copies of Jimmy Buffett [ tickets ]'s "License to Chill" during the album's first week in stores, enough to earn the veteran artist his first No. 1 album.

The Roots' "The Tipping Point" debuts at No. 4, while Gretchen Wilson's "Here for the Party" falls from No. 3 to No. 5.

The Beastie Boys [ tickets ] are still working out plans to embark on a fall tour, but one show has been confirmed: a Sept. 19 gig at Seattle's Key Arena.

The remaining tickets go on sale to the general public via Ticketmaster at 10 a.m. Pacific Time on Saturday (7/24). (Ticketmaster is liveDaily's parent company.).
