>Can't Nudge '8 Mile' From No. 1

>
>The Shady/Interscope soundtrack to "8 Mile" maintains
>its grip on the No. 1 position of The Billboard 200
>for a second-straight week, withstanding a mighty
>charge from Justin Timberlake's "Justified" (Jive).
>Sales of the Eminem-heavy soundtrack slipped 28% to
>508,000 units, according to Nielsen SoundScan, but
>that total was still enough to fend off "Justified,"
>which sold 439,000 units and bows at No. 2. The two
>albums hold the same positions on Billboard's Top
>R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
>
>As impressive as the numbers for Timberlake's set are,
>the 'N Sync member's solo debut expectedly fell far
>short of the 1.9 million units sold by the group's
>most recent Jive release, 2001's "Celebrity."
>
>Yet in a battle of solo efforts from boy band members,
>Timberlake is the clear winner. As "Justified" debuts
>at No. 2, Backstreet Boy Nick Carter's solo Jive debut
>"Now or Never" plummets from No. 17 to No. 63 in its
>second week on The Billboard 200. Timberlake's first
>single, "Like I Love You," made it into the top-15 of
>Billboard's Hot 100 last week; Carter's "Help Me,"
>meanwhile, managed only a No. 36 peak last month on
>Billboard's Top 40 Mainstream chart.
>
>"Justified" is one of four top-10 debuts on The
>Billboard 200, with a comfortable lead over the No. 3
>entry of U2's "The Best of 1990-2000/The B-Sides"
>(Interscope). That two-disc set sold 185,000 units; a
>single-disc version that does not include a
>compilation of B-sides, was released yesterday (Nov.
>12). The band's last two-disc greatest hits set, a
>collection of songs from 1980-1990, arrived at No. 2
>in November 1998 on sales of 237,000 units.
>
>Jaheim's "Still Ghetto" (Warner Bros.) lands at No. 8
>on The Billboard 200 on sales of 111,000 units, a
>stronger entry than last year's "Ghetto Love." The
>latter sold 80,000 units in its first week to arrive
>at No. 9. On the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart,
>Jaheim's set debuts at No. 3.
>
>The latest live effort from the Dave Matthews Band,
>"Live at Folsom Field" (RCA) soars to No. 9 on a sales
>of 110,000 units. The number isn't quite as strong as
>the 131,000 copies posted by "Live in Chicago
>12.19.98," which entered at No. 6 at this time last
>year.
>
>Christina Aguilera's "Stripped" (RCA) suffered a 49%
>sales hit to 168,000 units and falls two two slots to
>No. 4, while Santana's "Shaman" dips one to No. 5
>after a 20% slide to 140,000 units. Faith Hill's "Cry"
>(Warner Bros.), which is No. 1 on Billboard's Top
>Country Albums roundup for a fourth-straight week,
>holds at No. 6 on The Billboard 200. With Eminem's
>movie riding high, his album "The Eminem Show"
>(Shady/Interscope) saw a 14% gain to 115,000 units,
>earning it a one-rung boost to No. 7. Interscope's
>self-titled Nirvana collection, saw a 53% sales slide
>to 109,000 units, and slides from No. 3 to No. 10.
>
>Another three new albums land inside the top-20 of The
>Billboard 200 , led by Andrea Bocelli's collaboration
>with the London Symphony Orchestra, "Sentimento"
>(Phillips), at No. 12. His last album, "Cieli di
>Toscana," performed similarly, soaring to No. 11 last
>November. On the other end of the musical scale,
>Detroit's Insane Clown Posse arrives at No. 15 with
>"The Wraith: Shangri-La" (Riviera), and U.K.
>singer/songwriter David Gray notches his highest album
>chart-position to date with the No. 17 bow of "A New
>Day at Midnight" (ATO).
>
>Elsewhere, "Irv Gotti Presents the Remixes"
>(Universal) arrives at No. 24, the Wallflowers' "Red
>Letter Days" (Interscope) enters at No. 32, Alison
>Krauss + Union Station dock at No. 36 with their
>latest live collection from Rounder, and Deborah Cox's
>"The Morning After" (J Records) settles in at No. 38.
>
>Tony Bennett's collaboration with k.d. lang, "A
>Wonderful World" (Columbia), glides to No. 41 to give
>Bennett" his best showing on The Billboard 200 since
>1966 when "The Move Song Album" hit No. 18. "A
>Wonderful World," a collection of interpretations of
>Louis Armstrong songs, was heavily promoted on
>television last week, with a feature on "20/20" and
>appearances by the two on "Live With Regis and Kelly"
>and "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno."
>
>Further down the chart, Alan Jackson's "Let It Be
>Christmas" (Arista) arrives at No. 52, and thanks to
>the increased focus on the artist after his five wins
>at last week's CMA Awards, his album "Drive" receives
>a major boost. That former No. 1 set cruises 94-23 on
>a whopping 293% burst to 50,000 units.

>All of Billboard's latest charts will be posted
