(PR) Going from hair rock to country worked for Bon Jovi. The band's new album "Lost Highway" debuted a top the Billboard album charts this week with sales of 292,000. The first No 1 for the band since the "hair metal" heyday of 1988.

The made of MTV band beat out The White Stripes for the top spot with 50,000 more units sold. Jack Whites latest "Icky Thump" moved 223,000 units for the No 2 spot.

Former chart toppers Linkin Park and Maroon 5 are hanging in there, remaining in the Top 10 another week. Linkin Park's "Minutes to Midnight" sold 63,000 copies last week for a No. 6 spot and Maroon 5's "It Won't Be Soon Before Long" landed at No. 8 with 62,000 sold last week. Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black" inched into the No. 7 spot between the 2.

Paul McCartney's Starbucks fueled "Memory Almost Full" dropped two spots to No. 5 with third week sales of 64,000. Fabolous' "From Nothin' to Somthin'" nosedived seven spots to No. 9 moving only 59,000 units its second week in stores but beating out T-Pain by 3,000 units placing "Epiphany" at No. 10.
