Who Charted?: Rick Ross Breaks Benjamin

If it's Wednesday, it must mean it's time for our weekly album-sales recap, in which we find out just how quickly the music industry is sliding into complete and utter chaos. As expected, Rick Ross' Port of Miami was No. 1, scanning 187,000 copies, while Breaking Benjamin—a band we've never heard, but who are no doubt as terrible as we expect—came in at No. 2 with Phobia, which sold 125,000 copies. And despite not being sold at Wal-Mart, Slayer's Christ Illusion debuted at No. 5, thanks to 62,000 heathens.

Now for the bad news: Nickelback is on the chart not once, but twice, thanks to their appearance on Now 22 (No. 3) and their own All The Right Reasons album (No. 10). Maybe Slayer's right, and there is no god.
