While on the hip-hop front, Harlem rapper and Diplomats crew member Juelz Santana’s fourth effort, What the Game’s Been Missing!, moved 141,000 copies to land at Number Nine - a slightly weaker showing than 2003’s From Me to U, which bowed at Number Eight. Other big debuts this week include mellow crooner Enya’s latest, Amarantine, which sold 178,000 servings of New Age punch to hit Number Eight. The group, which landed on top with Mezmerize in May, is the first to open on top twice in. Mezmerize and Hypnotize both debuted at number 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, making the band one of the few to achieve this with two albums in the same. But if Underwood can hang onto the Top Twenty for a while, she still has a shot at matching fellow Idol Kelly Clarkson. After selling 320,000 copies of Hypnotize, System of Down score a second Billboard 1 debut this year. verb mesmerize mez-m-rz also mes- mesmerized mesmerizing Synonyms of mesmerize transitive verb 1 : to subject to mesmerism also : hypnotize 2 : spellbind I found myself mesmerized by the grandiosity of it all Arnold Plotnick The crowd was mesmerized by the acrobats. But the latest American Idol, Carrie Underwood, shows less chart power, as her debut Some Hearts fell five places in its second week out to Number Seven (187,000). Favourite genre of music: Metal, Cyber Punk, Indus, Indie blablabla. Like every System record before it, Hypnotize/Mesmerize is ultimately about good songs. The four new tracks on Mariah Carey’s re-release of her blockbuster The Emancipation of Mimi continues to give the comeback album an added boost: Months after the original version hit stores, Mimi‘s at Number Six (204,000), down just two spots. And the soundtrack to 50 Cent’s biopic, Get Rich or Die Tryin’, featuring the superstar rapper and members of his G Unit crew, climbed up one place in its third week out (Number Five, 207,000) for another strong - if unspectacular for 50 - sales week.
#Hypnotize and mezmerize series#
The twentieth installment of the ever-popular hits series Now That’s What I Call Music! continued to sell strong in the early holiday season, moving another 288,000 CDs to climb two spots to Number Three.
The former chart-topper climbed back up a spot to second place (303,000) in its third week out, most likely given a lift by Chesney’s primetime ABC tour special last week. While last week’s Number One, Madonna’s club-ready Confessions on a Dance Floor, fell to Number Four (210,000), this week brought a boost for country sensation Kenny Chesney’s latest, The Road and the Radio. While this is a weaker showing than the previous release - Mezmerize sold 130,000 more CDs in its first week out in May - this is potent proof of the Los Angeles metal band’s strong fan base. System of a Down’s Hypnotize, the companion album to their top-selling Mezmerize, took the Number One spot this week, selling 320,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
