While Limp Bizkit is no longer number one, the band's "Significant Other" isn't far behind after selling another 220,000 copies.
The week's big debut belongs to Jay-Z protégé Memphis Bleek, whose "Coming Of Age" lands at number seven after selling more than 117,000 in its first week in stores.

Love & Special Sauce's "Philadelphonic" at 113.
In the world of singles, Christina Aguilera's "Genie in a Bottle" continues its reign
