Jack Johnson Tops With Kids' Tunes

Jack Johnson's Sing-A-Longs and Lullabies, the soundtrack to the children's movie Curious George, topped the chart this week, with 163,000 copies sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The CD features a combination of kids' songs and Johnson's signature, laidback relationship tunes, ranging from the theme "Upside Down" to the G. Love-penned and performed "Jungle Gym" and a cover of the White Stripes' "We're Going to Be Friends." Johnson used his voice and the cavaquinho, a Brazilian ukelele, to do the talking for the popular -- but speechless -- animated monkey.

And at Number Two for a second week is R&B diva Mary J. Blige's former chart-topper, her massively successful The Breakthrough, which moved another 152,000 CDs. This officially means that, after weeks of musical chairs for the Number One spot, Blige has beaten out Jamie Foxx's Unpredictable: The crossover star's hit album fell six spots to Number Ten (81,000). And at Number Three (142,000) is last week's Number One, adult contemporary crooner Barry Manilow's American classics collection, The Greatest Songs of the Fifties. This is Manilow's eighth Top Ten album on the pop chart, and his second Number One in a thirty-year career.

Joining Manilow in another week of smooth-singing success are opera tenor Andrea Bocelli and classically trained boy band Il Divo. Bocelli's latest accessible release, Amore, sold another 117,000 CDs to drop one spot to Number Four, while Il Divo's recent chart-topper, Ancora, held steady at Number Six (96,000).
