Lil Wayne's "Lollipop" enjoys a fifth week at the top of the singles charts and should be a shoo-in for a sixth considering the massive sales week his new "Tha Carter III" album is currently having.
Wayne is set to take over the top spot on the albums chart next week, but the crown is currently held by rage-rockers Disturbed, who sold 252,000 copies of its "Indestructible" album. The 28th volume of "Now That's What I Call Music" comes in at No. 2 with 185,000 copies sold. Weezer debuts at No. 4 with 126,000 copies of "The Red Album" and "Revelation," the latest from Journey, with new lead singer Arnel Pineda, comes in at No. 5 with 105,000 copies sold only at Wal-Mart. Last week's No. 1, Usher's "Here I Stand" slipped to No. 3, after a sales drop of 67 percent to 145,000.
Ashanti's "The Declaration" landed at No. 6, with sales of 86,000, after a big push late last week.
On the singles chart, Coldplay, who are hoping to dethrone Lil Wayne on the albums charts in two weeks when their "Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends" arrives in U.S. stores, climbs to No. 2 with "Viva La Vida," trading places with Leona Lewis' "Bleeding Love," now at No. 3. Katy Perry's "I Kissed a Girl" climbs to No. 4 swapping places with Rihanna's "Take a Bow," which slips to No. 5.
