Nothing Bad About 'Bad Boys II' Performance On Albums Chart

Now! 13 holds onto #2, while second LSG album debuts at #6.

For the third week in a row, the "Bad Boys II" soundtrack outsold all others on the Billboard 200 albums chart.

The soundtrack -- featuring new material from Justin Timberlake, Snoop Dogg and Beyoncé Knowles as well as the P. Diddy/ Nelly/ Murphy Lee joint "Shake Ya Tailfeather" -- held onto #1 by selling more than 155,000 copies last week, according to SoundScan figures released Wednesday (August 6).

Another various-artists compilation, Now That's What I Call Music! Vol. 13, holds steady at #2 for a second week, and again JT is included on the mix, along with contributions from Jay-Z, Nas, Godsmack and Sum 41. The amalgam was good for more than 114,000 copies last week.

Beyoncé also has multiple homes in the top of the chart. Her solo album, Dangerously in Love, moves ahead two spots to #3 with more than 88,000 in sales.

The new chart's highest debut comes courtesy of the second effort from the three-pronged love machine known as LSG, composed of smooth crooners Gerald LeVert, Keith Sweat and Johnny Gill. LSG2, fueled by the single "Just Friends," which features Loon and borrows from the classic 1984 Whodini tune "Friends," sold more than 66,000 copies to land at #6.

Evanescence's Fallen takes the longest forward stride in the top 20, moving from #10 to #4. With two singles on the radio, "Bring Me to Life" and "Going Under," the album sold more than 78,000 copies, an almost 10 percent increase over the previous week.

The rest of the top 10 finds Chingy's Jackpot moving ahead one to #5 (77,000); 50 Cent's Get Rich or Die Tryin' up five to #7 (64,000); Ashanti's Chapter II taking one step forward to #8 (61,000); Mya's Moodring slipping six to #9 (59,000); and Norah Jones' Come Away With Me up three at #10 (59,000).

Jane's Addiction's Strays and country singer Brad Paisley's Mud on the Tires each dive seven spots -- Strays to #11 and Mud to #15. But it's 311's Evolver that takes the biggest plunge in the top 40. The funky reggae rockers' seventh album falls from #7 to #29 after selling about 55,000 fewer copies than the week before.

With its title track as a creamy metaphor for the nasty, JS' Ice Cream bows at #33. The hip-pop duo is the creation of Ronald "Mr. Biggs" Isley, and R. Kelly produced much of the debut.

Nearly a month after her death, salsa star Celia Cruz appears three times on the chart. Her new Regalo del Alma debuts at #40, the new greatest-hits compilation Exitos Eternos lands at #95, and the 3-week-old best-of set, Hits Mix, is at #106.

The "Daredevil" soundtrack, which served as the breakthrough platform for Evanescence and featured cuts from Saliva, Drowning Pool and Nickelback, re-enters the chart no doubt thanks to the recent release of the film on DVD and the promotional marketing surrounding it.

Other notable chart debuts include the soundtrack to "Freaky Friday," which features popular covers by Simple Plan, Bowling for Soup and Lillix, at #131; ghoulish punks the Misfits' send-up of 1950s tunes, Project 1950, at #133; and The Original, the debut album by female white rapper Sarai, dubbed "Feminem" by the media, at #187.
