Country Boys Rascal Flatts Stay on Top

With no new albums from major artists this week, country boy band Rascal Flatts managed to dominate the chart a third week in a row, selling another 143,000 copies of their latest album, Me and My Gang, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Otherwise there was little change to the Top Ten melting pot -- running the gamut of hip-hop, tween tunes, pop radio hits and singer-songwriter debuts -- with most of last week's charting artists shuffling positions.

Moving one spot to Number Two (130,000) was the twenty-first installment of the blockbuster hits compilation, Now That's What I Call Music!, with singles by Mariah Carey, All-American Rejects, Rihanna and Chris Brown. Following at Number Three (116,000) is the runaway tween hit, the soundtrack to the Disney Channel movie, High School Musical.

But country continues to be the cool kid in the Top Ten popularity contest, with some of the genre's top artists still rounding out the list. Toby Keith's White Trash With Money slid just two places to Number Four (109,000), and Tim McGraw's Greatest Hits, Volume 2 climbed one spot to Number Six (59,000).
