  Godsmack Smacks Linkin Park Out Of No. 1

Linkin Park got some competition this week from Godsmack and the Bean Town rockers smacked the rap-rock boys out of the top spot on the Billboard Album charts. 

Godsmack�s third album �Faceless� sold 267,000 copies this past week and will debut at No. 1 on the charts. This marks the first time Godsmack has landed at No. 1. Ironically, first week sales of this album are only slightly higher than the group�s last effort �Awake�. 

Linkin Park got bumped down to the No. 2 spot with sales of 186,000 copies this past week. 50 Cent�s landed at No. 3, moving 159,000 copies of �Get Rich or Die Tryin��. Lisa Marie Presley rounded out the Top 5 with her debut album, �To Whom It May Concern,� with sales of 142,000 copies for the daughter of the King. 

Will Godsmack remain in the top spot for two weeks in a row?  Many doubt that since Fleetwood Mac released their highly anticipated new studio album, �Say You Will,� this week that is predicted to shoot straight to the top.
