如題囉....告示牌專輯榜~"俏妞的死亡計程車" 首度摘下全美專輯榜冠軍頭銜!!!


2008年到目前為止,全美專輯榜上的冠軍得主幾乎都是流行和R&B曲風歌手,瑪麗亞凱莉
(Mariah Carey)、瑪丹娜(Madonna)、珍娜傑克森(Janet Jackson)等等天后都是
其中的代表人物,及至2008年快要進行到一半的現在,只有三張曲風較偏向搖滾和民謠的
非流行專輯得到過全美專輯榜冠軍,其中之一是今年開春的第一張全美冠軍專輯-電台司令
(Radiohead)的「彩虹裡(In Rainbows)」,之二是傑克強森(Jack Johnson)蟬連三
週冠軍的「夢想國度(Sleep Through the Static)」,還有一張就是這星期的冠軍得主
:俏妞的死亡計程車(Death Cab For Cutie)的新專輯「窄梯(Narrow Stairs)」。
這是這支獨立搖滾團體出道以來首度在主流排行榜上得到冠軍的作品,恐怕團員們自己也
沒想到會在主流商業市場受到如此熱烈的歡迎。

這星期的全美熱門專輯榜顯然會讓搖滾迷們大感振奮,除了冠軍由俏妞的死亡計程車奪得之
外,創作歌手傑森瑪耶茲(Jason Mraz)新專輯「活出自我(We Sing, We Dance, We Steal
Things)也空降季軍位置。其他本週新進榜的專輯還包括了有:獲得亞軍的已故影歌視三棲
傳奇法蘭克辛納屈(Frank Sinatra)的精選輯「嚴選經典(Nothing But the Best)」;
從英國紅到美國的復古創作歌手黛菲(Duffy)的首張專輯「菲比尋常(Rockferry)」,
這張先前已在英國榜上奪冠的專輯,本週在全美專輯榜上得到第四名;以及第十名R&B歌手
凱斯史威特(Keith Sweat)的新專輯「凱斯本色(Just Me)」。本週全美專輯榜五到九名
的得主就都是老面孔了:第五名是里歐娜(Leona Lewis)的「心靈深處(Spirit)」;
第六名是瑪麗亞凱莉的「蝴蝶效應(E=MC2)」;第七名是老牌歌手尼爾戴蒙(Neil Diamond)
上週空降冠軍的專輯「盼你早歸(Home Before Dark)」;第八名是瑪丹娜的「娜‧式‧糖
(Hard Candy)」;第九名則是鄉村歌手托比凱斯(Toby Keith)上週獲得亞軍的「35 Biggest
Hits」。

Death Cab For Cutie Scores First No. 1 Album

Death Cab For Cutie claims its first No. 1 album as "Narrow Stairs" starts at the top slot
on the Billboard 200. The Atlantic set moved 144,000 copies in the U.S., according to
Nielsen Soundscan. Death Cab's prior album, 2005's "Plans," debuted at No. 4 with 90,000
and spent 50 weeks on the chart.

Reprise's retrospective Frank Sinatra collection "Nothing But the Best" bows at No. 2 with
99,000. It's been nearly 15 years since Old Blue Eyes was this high on the chart. In December
1993, his "Duets" album spent three weeks at No. 2. This new hits collection, which chronicles
the legend's tenure on Reprise Records, also commemorates the tenth anniversary of Sinatra's
passing on May 14, 1998.

Jason Mraz's Atlantic album "We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things" enters at No. 3 with 73,000
, giving the Warner Music Group and WEA Distribution the top three on the chart for the first
time in more than 16 years. "We Sing..." is the singer/songwriter's new high-water mark on
the chart; "Mr. A-Z" topped out at No. 5 in 2005.

Welsh singer Duffy's A&M/Polydor debut "Rockferry" enters at No. 4 with 71,000. That makes her
the third female British newcomer to earn a top 10 debut since the beginning of 2007, joining
Amy Winehouse and Leona Lewis. The album's single "Mercy" has risen to No. 20 thus far on the
Adult Top 40 radio chart.

Speaking of Lewis, her Syco/J set "Spirit" climbs 6-5 with 62,000, an 18% slip in sales. Mariah
Carey's Island Def Jam album "E=MC2" flip-flops with it, falling 5-6 with 59,000 (-33%). After
becoming his first No. 1 last week, Neil Diamond's "Home Before Dark" (Columbia) slips to No. 7
with a 63% sales hit at 53,000.

Madonna's "Hard Candy" (Warner Bros.) continues its decline 3-8 with 53,000 (-43%) and Toby
Keith's double-disc collection "35 Biggest Hits" (Show Dog Nashville) descends 2-9 with 41,000,
a 60% sales tumble.

Keith Sweat's "Just Me" rounds out the top tier, debuting at No. 10 with 37,000. The Keia/Atco/Rhino
is Sweat's first studio album since 2002's "Rebirth," which peaked at No. 14 in its opening week.

Rock act 10 Years' "Division" (Universal Republic) lands at No. 12 with 28,000. Its last set, "The
Autumn Effect," topped out at No. 72 in 2005. Other debuts on The Billboard 200 this week include
the Disney soundtrack to "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian" at No. 26 with 16,000, Cherish's
"The Truth" (Capitol) at No. 40 with 13,000, Filter's "Anthems for the Damned" (Pulse) at No. 42,
also with 13,000 and Starbucks' Hear Music compilation "The Second Wave" at No. 43 with 13,000.

Album sales this week are down 8.5% from last week's sum with 7.43 million units and down 13.5%
from the same week last year.
