But, as is the case for most veteran acts, No.

1 aint quite what it used to be, sales-wise.

Still, most bands these days would take up serious arms to achieve that kind of opening.

Rapper Bun Bs sophomore solo album,II Trill, sold 98,000 and entered at No.

2 (bettering the No.

6 peak for his previous disc).

Frank Sinatras best-of was the hottest holdover on the album chart,

falling to No.

4 with second-week sales of 54,000.

Last weeks leader,

Death Cab for Cutie, had a steeper dropoff, landing at No.

Filling

out the top 10: Leona Lewis at No.

6, followed by Mariah Carey, Duffy,

Madonna, and Neil Diamond.

Their indie album got a major-label rerelease.

Some more modest album debuts: Jesse McCartney, in at No.

14 with 23,000; and Green Day side project Foxboro Hot Tubs, who bubbled up to No.

Next week, prepare to usher in Usher, and count on him sticking

around a while.
