Mary J. Blige's Mary makes the most impressive
debut this week, coming in at No. 2 for sales of
approximately 239,186. Also bowing in the
top 10 is rapper Mobb Deep, whose Murda Muzik enters at
an almost equally impressive No. 3. These
two entries subsequently manage to knock former
second-placers Limp Bizkit down to No. 4
for the week, and former third slot-holder Britney Spears to
No. 5.
Elsewhere in the top 10, the various-artist
compilation Now That's What I Call Music Vol. 2 falls one
place to No. 6, and Ricky Martin's self-titled
English-language debut takes a dive from No. 4 to No. 7.
The Runaway Bride soundtrack and Kid Rock's
Devil Without A Cause both fall two places, to No. 8 and
No. 9, respectively. Santana's Supernatural
is the only steady holder in the top 10 besides Backstreet,
clinging firmly to the No. 10 spot.
Other notable debuts this week include the
In Too Deep soundtrack at No. 28, the Source Music Awards
1999 disc at No. 53, the Moody Blues' Strange
Times at No. 93, and John Mellencamp's Rough Harvest
at No. 99.
