I’m not going to even lie! I am SHOCKED that Linkin Park is number one. Good for them and good for rock music everywhere. Even though I am not a fan, I am happy about this. Sliding it in behind them is Maroon 5 and that’s a REAL close slide. In fact 1,000 records changed their fate, So close. Justin Bieber had almost 100K more units than this weeks #1 debut, but dropped %69 percent this week. That’s nuts right? I thought for sure he would have held a more solid sales position this week, even with the slide in chart number. What can you do? Telling times maybe? 
Other notables in the top ten are…… well besides R. Kelly, it just doesn’t matter really!
