The pop jams on NOW That's What I Call Music! 30 are technically closer to "five minutes ago" than "NOW" -- a little "Just Dance" here, some "I'm Yours" there -- but they still managed to outsell all the brand-new offerings in this debut-heavy week, landing at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart with 146,000 units moved. Second place went to Miley Cyrus' Hannah Montana: The Movie soundtrack, with 139,000 copies sold. That's a far cry from the 371,000 her previous studio album notched in its first week, but considering that this one was a multi-artist set cobbled together for a movie, it's probably nothing to be too ashamed of.
Other debuts in the Top 20 this week included R&B songwriter Keri Hilson's In a Perfect World… at No. 4 with 94,000; hard rockers Papa Roach's Metamorphosis at No. 8 with 44,000; Harlem rapper Jim Jones' Pray IV Reign at No. 9 with 43,000; country vet Martina McBride's Shine at No. 10 with 41,000; subtle metalheads Mastodon's Crack the Skye at No. 11 with 41,000; Stephenie Meyer faves Blue October's Approaching Normal at No. 13 with 37,000; Houston tough Slim Thug's Boss of All Bosses at No. 15 with 32,000; Nashville gent John Rich's Son of a Preacher Man at No. 16 with 31,000; and, last but not least, the inimitable Yanni's Voices at No. 20 with 26,000.
