Is this a new trend? For the second week in a row a rock debut has landed the top spot on the Billboard 200 album charts. Staind�s major label sophomore effort, �Break the Cycle� will claim the No. 1 spot on the charts when they are published in next week�s issue of Billboard. 

Just last week Tool�s highly anticipated release, �Lateralus�, landed at number 1, but Staind�s new album pushed Tool into second place this week. �Break the Cycle� sold 716,000 in its first week on record store shelves, breaking the first week sales records of recent releases by Janet Jackson and Destiny�s Child. 

The other highflying debut on next week�s chart will be rapper Redman�s latest effort �Malpractice�.  Here is a look at the Top 5:

1. Staind 
2. Tool 
3. Destiny�s Child 
4. Redman 
5. Missy Elliott
