Chart Top Makes Cozy 'Home' For Dixie Chicks
For the second week in a row, the top debut on The Billboard 200 arrives outside the top-10. It's a career best for veteran Southern Gospel act Bill & Gloria Gaither, who score two top-20 entries with live sets recorded at New York's Carnegie Hall: "Let Freedom Ring" (Spring House) lands at No. 15, and "God Bless America" settles in at No. 19. The couple's high debut was spurred by a cable television special, which aired heavily on PAX and Trinity Broadcasting Network. Neither has ever been higher than No. 86 on the chart.
Elsewhere on The Billboard 200, Rebecca Lynn Howard's "Forgive" (MCA Nashville) arrives at No. 31 and Ani DiFranco's "So Much Shouting/So Much Laughter" (Righteous Babe) strums its way to No. 34. The latter is the singer/songwriter's highest chart position since 1999.
"Work It," the latest single from Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott, scoots 42-24 up the Hot 100 and is the chart's fastest-growing track at radio. The Hot 100's fastest-growing track at retail is "Gimme the Light," from reggae-bred DJ Sean Paul, which hurdles 70-51. The top debut on the Hot 100 is Montgomery Gentry's "My Town" at No. 69. Other notable entries include Disturbed's "Prayer" at No. 74, Kelly Rowland's "Stole" at No. 76, U2's "Electrical Storm" at No. 77, Norah Jones' "Don't Know Why" at No. 78, and India.Arie's "Little Things" at No. 92.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers' "By the Way" leads Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart for a 14th week. Over on the Mainstream Rock Tracks tally, System Of A Down's "Aerials" displaces "By the Way," which had reigned the chart for seven weeks. "Aerials" is System's first No. 1 single, and fifth overall to hit the chart.
Expect some major shakeups on the charts next week, as Disturbed's "Believe" (Warner Bros.) is expected to charge to No. 1 on The Billboard 200, with some estimations seeing the nu-metal act selling upward of 300,000 units. Over on the singles side, "American Idol"'s Kelly Clarkson could claim the pole position on the Hot 100, as a commercial single of "A Moment Like This" was released on Tuesday. The track rises 60-52 on the Hot 100, a position based solely on airplay.
