LOS ANGELES, Oct 5, 2005 (UPI via COMTEX) -- Gretchen Wilson scored a career-best sales week to land "All Jacked Up" atop The Billboard 200 and Billboard's Top Country Albums charts.
Wilson's sophomore effort saw 264,000 albums fly off U.S. shelves last week, knocking Disturbed's "Ten Thousand Fists" out of the Billboard 200 No. 1 spot, Billboard reported Wednesday.
Sheryl Crow's "Wildflower" was No. 2 on top 200 albums chart, followed by Three 6 Mafia's "Most Known Unknown."
Toni Braxton's "Libra" bowed at No. 4 followed by Kanye West's "Late Registration" at No. 5. Lil' Kim's "The Naked Truth" entered the chart in the No. 6 spot and at No. 7 was Sean Paul's "The Trinity," scoring the highest entry for any reggae album since sales tracking began in 1991.
Disturbed fell from last week's No. 1 to No. 8, with Bon Jovi's "Have a Nice Day" in the No. 9 slot and the Black Eyed Peas bringing up the rear with "Monkey Business."
Overall U.S. album sales stood at 10.3 million units last week, an increase of 4.5 percent from the previous week but still behind 4.6 percent from the same week a year ago. Annual sales were running 10.4 percent behind 2004.
