It looks like Creed fans had their wallets "wide open" last week as the band's third album �Weathered� landed the top spot on the Billboard 200 album charts having sold 887,000 units its first week in stores.  First week sales for Creed�s previous album �Human Clay� logged in at 316,000 back in October of 1999.  �Human Clay� went on to sell over 10 million copies worldwide and judging by the first week sales of their new CD �Weathered�, they may just repeat themselves. 

The band has announced plans for an arena tour in early 2002 to support �Weathered�.  The first 18 dates have been released with more expected to follow shortly.
