Rob Thomas bumps Mariah
Matchbox Twenty frontman Rob Thomas topped the chart this week with his much-hyped solo debut, Something To Be. The album sold 252,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan, to bump pop diva Mariah Carey's The Emancipation Of Mimi to number two.
This is a stronger showing than Matchbox Twenty's most recent album, 2002's More Than You Think You Are, which sold 178,000 and debuted at number six. As for Carey, with another 226,000 copies sold, her two-week total comes to 630,000, giving her a good shot at hitting the 1-million mark within the next month. (Rolling Stone)
