Now 20, Santana Top Chart

News flash: The people of America like the hits. And,according to the latest Nielsen Cheap Rosetta Stone SoundScan figures, they flocked to their local record stores this past week and bought up 378,000 copies of the twentieth installment of Now Thats What I Call Music!, which features radio-friendly singles from the likes of hip-hop heroine Missy Elliott, original American Idol champ Kelly Clarkson and Scottishbuzz rockers Franz Ferdinand.Right behind the chart-topping Now! 20 is another various-artists record of sorts, Santanas latest, AllThat I Am, which finds the Rock Roll Hall of Fame guitarist joined by a new generation of hit-makers including Joss Stone, Los Lonely Boys and Sean Paul. All moved 142,000 copies to come in at Number Two, impressive but so far the album hasnt quite reached the heights of Santanas previous two star-studded affairs, 1999s Grammy-sweeping Supernatural and Cheap Rosetta Stone V3 2002s Shaman, which both hit Number One.Nickelback found another hefty batch of people who dont read their reviews, as the Canadian rockers moved 101,000 copies of their bona fide chart powerhouse (and critical punching bag) All the Right Reasons. The bands fourth album hangs tough at Number Three in its fifth week instores. Speaking of staying power, after twenty-two weeks, the Black Eyed Peas remain in the Top Five with Monkey Business (Number Four; 86,000).Blasting onto the charts this week with -- you guessed it --more hits are punk and rock veterans Blink-182 and John Fogerty, who placed at Number Six and Thirteen with their respective new best-of collections. Slipknot and Nirvana also got in the action, scoring with alternate versions of previously released songs on 9.0: Live (Seventeen; 42,000) Rosetta Stone Japanese andSliver -- Best of the Box (Twenty-one; 38,000).The charts biggest dose of new blood came in the form of Third Day -- Christian rocks answer to Skynyrd. Their sixth album, Wherever You Are, moved 63,000 copies to enter at Number Eight, the Atlanta bands first Top Ten.Next week, the Beastie Boys, the Eurythmics and Cyndi Lauper look to seize the chart with repackaged hits of their own, but Number One will be all about 50 Cent, thanks to the release of his new movie soundtrack, Get Rich or DieTryin.This weeks Top Ten: Now Thats What I Call Music!
