Rock acts dominate the top two slots on The Billboard 200 again this week, with Tool’s “10,000 Days” taking the crown on more than double the sales of the latest from Pearl Jam.
The Tool Dissectional/Volcano set gave the band a career-best sales week, moving 564,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan, to put it at No. 1. “10,000 Days” also takes over the lead from Godsmack’s “IV” (Universal) on the Top Rock Albums chart.
Tool’s last album, “Lateralus,” also opened at No. 1 on the big chart in 2001 with sales of 555,000 units. It has sold more than 2.3 million to date.
