KiwiCoromandel Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Ashlee Simpson and Rod Stewart led the US pop charts yesterday, although sales of their new albums were considerably lower than those of their previous releases. Simpson logged her second consecutive No. 1 with "I Am Me," her sophomore Geffen Records effort, which sold 220,000 copies in the week ended October 23, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The pop singer's 2004 debut, "Autobiography," started with 398,000 copies and has gone on to move 2.9 million. Nonetheless, in just six weeks, the new album's first single, "Boyfriend," is a top 25 track on the Billboard Hot 100. Last week's champ, Alicia Keys' "Unplugged" (J Records), tumbled to No. 9 with 83,000 copies in its second week. "Thanks for the Memories," the fourth installment of Stewart's "Great American Songbook" series (J Records), followed with 193,000 copies. The highest-charting and best-selling of the series remains last year's Grammy-winning "Stardust... The Great American Songbook, Vol. 3," which bowed at No. 1 with 240,000 copies and has sold 1.5 million to date. source: REUTERS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
