Rock News: Korn and Dr. Dre battle for
#1
With over 500,000 copies sold of each album
the first week out no one can call either a failure. But only one album
can be number 1, and Korn takes the gold with their new release Issues.
Issues sold a reported 574,000 copies it's
first week. Dr. Dre came in second with sales of 516,000 copies of his
latest Chronic 2001. The retiring Celine Dion rounded out the top three
with her greatest hits album "All the Way... A Decade of Song" which feel
way behind the top two sellers with just over 300,000 copies sold.
Rage Against the Machine which was number
one two weeks ago dropped to number 11 this week with The Battle of Los
Angeles.
Next week will be the acid test for Korn
and Dr. Dre as they have to defend their chart positions against metal
heavy weights Metallica and Guns n' Roses.
