Celine Dion Climbs To #1 Over Metallica
Celine Dion's 1990s retrospective, All the Way: A Decade of
Song, will climb two places to take over the #1 position on this week's
Billboard 200 albums chart. The album, which includes "My Heart
Will Go On" and other pop hits, sold 393,927 copies the week ending Sunday
(Nov. 28), as the holiday shopping crush began, according to SoundScan
data released Wednesday. That's 93,000 more copies sold than the
Metallica live album S&M, which will debut at #2. Several
other high-profile albums make their chart debuts this week: rapper
Nas' Nastradamus (#7); country star Garth Brooks'
The Magic of Christmas (#13); the Dave Matthews Band's two-CD
live album Listener Supported (#15); the Beastie Boys'
retrospective The Sounds of Science (#19); Beck's funk-oriented
Midnite Vultures (#34); and Third Eye Blind's Blue
(#40), which follows up the pop-rock band's multiplatinum 1997 debut,
Third Eye Blind. Last week's #1 album, hard-rock band Korn's
Issues, will fall to #5.
