Jackson Takes Down Jackson On Album Charts

Country star Alan Jackson replaced Janet Jackson at the top of the U.S. pop album chart, while rock bands Flogging Molly and the Black Crowes cracked the top five with their latest releases.



Janet Jackson's "Discipline" slid to 3rd, while Jack Johnson's former chart-topper "Sleep Through the Static" rose one to 2nd.

Flogging Molly earned its highest charting album and its best sales week ever as "Float" started in 4th.

The Black Crowes achieved their highest charting album since 1992 as "Warpaint" debuted at 5th.

Women rounded out the top 10: "4th World War," the first half of Erykah Badu's double album series "New Amerykah," fell four spots to 6th, Sara Bareilles' "Little Voice" climbed two to 7; Alicia Keys' "As I Am" fell three to 8th; Taylor Swift's album rebounded into 9th; and Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black" held at 10th spot.
