Slim Shady�s marketing and mogul status continues to climb as his protégé� 50 Cent�s captured the No. 2 spot with �The New Breed� a DVD/CD-single package from the rapper sold 246,000 copies. 

Fleetwood Mac made a triumphant return debuting at No 3. with �Say You Will,� the first new studio album in fifteen years to feature Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham (Christine McVie guest on the album). Many expected the album to sell more than 217,000 copies in the first week, given the group�s multi-platinum past. 

Also debuting in the Top 10 a new album from Jimmy Buffett entitled �Meet Me In Margaritaville� sold 127,000 copies landing the album at No. 9.  Looking for that lost shaker of salt continues to pay off for Buffett all these years later. 

Linkin Park dropped down to No. 7 with sales of 192,000. Cher rounded out the Top 10 with �The Very Best of Cher�. 

What happened to last week�s No. 1 album from Godsmack you ask? Saddly the Mass. Rocker�s third effort �Faceless� took a nosedive right out of the Top 10, landing at No. 13.   Evanescence also dropped out of the Top 10, landing at No. 12. Ironically, the album sold 23,000 more copies last week than it did the previous week when it was in the Top 10. 

Clarkson�s glory may be short lived as Madonna looks to land at No. 1 on next weeks chart with her new album, �American Life�. Judging by early soundscan reports it looks like the �Material Girl� will easily meet that goal.
