Rapper Jay-Z easily held onto the No. 1 spot on The Billboard 200 for the
second week in a row as Tori Amos' latest effort, Strange Little Girls,
debuts at No. 4 to mark this week's highest debut.
Elsewhere in the top 10, Martina McBride's Greatest Hits landed at No. 5,
Gerald Levert's Gerald's World hit No. 6, and Diana Krall's Look of Love just
made it in at No. 9.

charts this week and has become the second artist in history to chart more
than one live album in the top 200 at the same time. Pearl Jam holds the
record for debuting the most albums on the chart at the same time with seven
(allstar, March 7, 2001).
