Billboard Top 10 Albums

Metallica, Jessica Simpson and LL Cool J are all new faces on the Billboard album charts this week. (week of Sept. 17)

Metallica’s “Death Magnetic” album debuted at number one with 490,000 copies sold.

Jessica Simpson landed in fourth place with her first country album selling 65,000 copies. Jessica’s album is number one on the Billboard Country charts. I guess that puts to rest the speculation that country fans would not accept her music.

LL Cool J new album “Exit 13″ is at Number 9 with 44,000 copies sold. This is LL Cool J’s 13th album, and it will be his last album under the Def Jam record label, and then he is exiting the label (hence the name Exit 13)
