8/13/2023 0 Comments Hypnotize and mezmerizeAnd breakout Southern rapper Chamillionaire’s major-label debut, The Sound of Revenge, made it to Number Ten, with 130,000 CDs sold. While on the hip-hop front, Harlem rapper and Diplomats crew member Juelz Santana’s fourth effort, What the Game’s Been Missing!, moved 141,000 copies to land at Number Nine - a slightly weaker showing than 2003’s From Me to U, which bowed at Number Eight. Other big debuts this week include mellow crooner Enya’s latest, Amarantine, which sold 178,000 servings of New Age punch to hit Number Eight. But if Underwood can hang onto the Top Twenty for a while, she still has a shot at matching fellow Idol Kelly Clarkson. But the latest American Idol, Carrie Underwood, shows less chart power, as her debut Some Hearts fell five places in its second week out to Number Seven (187,000). Hypnotize is my least-favorite album, but that doesnt mean its not a fantastic album. The four new tracks on Mariah Carey’s re-release of her blockbuster The Emancipation of Mimi continues to give the comeback album an added boost: Months after the original version hit stores, Mimi‘s at Number Six (204,000), down just two spots. And the soundtrack to 50 Cent’s biopic, Get Rich or Die Tryin’, featuring the superstar rapper and members of his G Unit crew, climbed up one place in its third week out (Number Five, 207,000) for another strong - if unspectacular for 50 - sales week. The twentieth installment of the ever-popular hits series Now That’s What I Call Music! continued to sell strong in the early holiday season, moving another 288,000 CDs to climb two spots to Number Three. Mezmerize and STA both rely heavily on Serjs vocal range, bizarre lyrics, and really hammer home the frenetic pacing of songs. Mezmerize is a similar album to STA in ways that I didnt hear during the first go-round, and I think I may bump the rating on that album as a result. The former chart-topper climbed back up a spot to second place (303,000) in its third week out, most likely given a lift by Chesney’s primetime ABC tour special last week. Mezmerize is way more interesting than Hypnotize and its not close. SYSTEM OF A DOWN Hypnotize + Mezmerize (CD + CD/DVD LOT) PLEASE READ - CASE(S) HAVE WEAR AND BLEMISHES FROM USE AND MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE CRACKS / MINOR. While last week’s Number One, Madonna’s club-ready Confessions on a Dance Floor, fell to Number Four (210,000), this week brought a boost for country sensation Kenny Chesney’s latest, The Road and the Radio. While this is a weaker showing than the previous release - Mezmerize sold 130,000 more CDs in its first week out in May - this is potent proof of the Los Angeles metal band’s strong fan base. This was the title track and lead single from System Of A Downs fifth album, Hypnotize, which was released in November 2005 just six months after their previous album, Mezmerize. System of a Down’s Hypnotize, the companion album to their top-selling Mezmerize, took the Number One spot this week, selling 320,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
