Chart Watch: Jay-Z, Outkast, U2

November 8 -- Top 10: For the first time in a long while, all three of the top-selling albums in the country are new releases. With little fanfare, Jay-Z's Dynasty sold an impressive 557,000 copies in its first week on the shelves, narrowly beating out Outkast's Stankonia, which sells 525,000 copies to debut at No. 2. Coming in at No. 3 is U2's All That You Can't Leave Behind, which is picked up by almost 428,000 fans.

Limp Bizkit's Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water, which has held the No. 1 spot the last two weeks, drops to No. 4, selling more than 298,000 copies and closing in on the 2 million mark. Another new release, Godsmack's Awake, sells 256,000 copies to bow at No. 5, followed by Nelly's Country Grammar, which sells yet another 142,000 copies. Last week's No. 2, Lenny Kravitz's Greatest Hits falls down to No. 7, still selling 128,000 copies, while the Baha Men keep asking Who Let the Dogs Out at No. 8, selling more than 112,000 copies, a sure thing to hit the million sales mark this time next week. Creed's Human Clay sells more than 108,000 copies at No. 9, while Ja Rule's Rule 3:36 wraps up the Top 10, selling exactly nine copies fewer than 100,000.

Girls Kick Ass: The Charlie's Angels soundtrack, which features a new Destiny's Child track, debuted at No. 15 a week ago. This week it's up to No. 11, missing the Top 10 by less than 1,000 copies.

Fallen: For the first time in many weeks, 3 Doors Down's Better Life is out of the Top 10, having dropped from No. 9 a week ago to No. 13, selling 78,000 copies. Regardless, at its current sales rate, it will have sold 3 million total copies in the next two weeks.
