Get ready for a slew of "rock is back" huzzahs and back-slaps: Bob Dylan is at the top of this week's Billboard 200. "Modern Times," which sold 192,000 copies in the U.S. last week, is Dylan's fourth career No. 1 album and his first since 1976's "Desire." Last week's chart-toppers, Diddy proteges Danity Kane (wait, were any of them even born in 1976?), slipped to No. 2 with 117,000 albums sold.
Other top-10 debuts this week: Young Dro (No. 3); Method Man (No. 8); The Roots (No. 9); and Jessica Simpson (No. 5), who must be pretty annoyed that all her John Mayer tabloid heat didn't translate into a higher chart position. Rounding out the top 10 were Christina Aguilera, The Cheetah Girls, OutKast, and the unbelievably resilient Nickelback, whose "All the Right Reasons" crept into the No. 10 slot in its 48th week on the Billboard 200.
