Backstreet Boys Smash Sales Records

Set late last year, Brooks became the first artist to sell more than one million records in the first week of sale. But now the country superstar's Double Live has been eclipsed by five young men from Florida - the Backstreet Boys, naturally. Their Millennium sold 1,133,505 copies in its first week in release, making it the most albums sold in a week - ever - since SoundScan began recording sales figures. The Boys knocked Ricky Martin from his perch at No. 1, but the pop star's self-titled album still sold a respectable 458,000 copies, pushing it well past the platinum mark. Britney Spears' Baby One More Time climbed up to No. 3, selling 141,000 copies, followed by TLC's Fan Mail, with another 134,000 copies sold. The opening of Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace gave the soundtrack a healthy bump, pushing it up to No. 5 with 114,000 copies sold. Shania Twain, whose Come on Over doesn't need a bump, was close behind, moving another 113,000 copies. Snoop Dogg's Top Dogg never made it to the top, but still puts in a Top 10 appearance at No. 7, cresting in at 108,000 copies. The latest from Jimmy Buffett, Beach House on the Moon, debuts at No. 8, selling just shy of 200,000 copies, followed by the Ruff Ryders' Ryde or Die, in at No. 9 with more than 99,000 copies sold. At No. 10 was another new album, Vol. 1 - In Our Time, from Eightball & M.J.G., which sold more than 94,000 copies. Notable debuts: The compilation Soundbombing II bows at No. 30 with 37,000 copies sold, while the soundtrack to Tarzan swings in at No. 45, selling almost 26,000 copies. Dwight Yoakam's Greatest Hits set shows up at No. 80 (15,000 copies), and the latest Lilith releases, Vol. 2 and Vol. 3, come in at No. 87 and No. 98, respectively. Movin' on up: Look for Kid Rock's Devil Without a Cause to crack the Top 10 in coming weeks. Up to No. 13 this week with 78,000 sold, his sales are up over 15,000 copies from last week. Brandy's Never Say Never has bounced from No. 48 to No. 25 in the last two weeks, while Lit's Place in the Sun, at No. 70 two weeks ago, appears at No. 42 this time around. In at No. 50 is Collective Soul's Dosage, up 23 notches from two weeks prior. Not surprisingly, the Backstreet Boys' self-titled album jumped up several spots to land at No. 24. Comment on this item.
