Chart Watch: Radiohead, Green Day, Scarface
Top 10: They may not even realize it, but consumers sent the music industry a message last week. More than 207,000 people went out and picked up Kid A, the latest effort from Radiohead — a band that has never done better than platinum — making it the top-selling album in the country. When was the last time such a truly alternative album stormed the charts?

Last week's No. 1, Mystikal's Let's Get Ready, drops a notch in the wake of esoteric rock, still selling 180,000 copies, followed by Nelly's Country Grammar, which sells another 161,000. Green Day's Warning debuts at No. 4 with sales of 155,000, while Revelation, the new one from 98 Degrees, comes in at No. 6, selling almost 150,000.

Madonna's Music sells another 141,000 at No. 7, while Last of a Dying Breed, Scarface's new album, bows at No. 7, with first-week sales of almost 134,000. Creed's Human Clay slips to No. 8, selling more than 126,000, and the Baha Men's Who Let the Dogs Out? continues to climb, selling more than 102,000 copies at No. 9. The Better Life, by 3 Doors Down, wraps things up, selling another 98,000 copies.

Notable Debuts: Beyond the three Top 10 debuts, Paul Simon's You're the One bows the highest, selling almost 60,000 copies at No. 19, while Yanni's If I Could Tell You sells 55,000 at No. 20 and Guru's latest Jazzmatazz project sells 40,000 at No. 32. Other debuts: Travis Tritt's Down the Road I Go (No. 51, 28,000), the second Dawson's Creek soundtrack (No. 59, 24,000), Robbie Williams' Sing When You're Winning (No. 110, 13,400), Paul Oakenfold's Perfecto Presents Another World (No. 114, 13,200), Kenny Rogers' There You Go Again (No. 121, 12,600), the Indigo Girls' Retrospective (No. 128, 11,700), and the Van Morrison/Linda Gail Lewis collaboration You Win Again (No. 161, 9,200).

Bump 'n' Twang: The Dixie Chicks, the big winners at last week's Country Music Association Awards, saw a healthy sales bump for Fly, which jumped 20 notches on the charts, selling more than 44,000 copies. Horizon Award winner Brad Paisley saw Who Needs Pictures jump from off the charts up to No. 102, selling more than 14,000 copies. Faith Hill, who won the Female Vocalist of the Year Award, sold an additional 8,000 copies of Breathe at No. 21, while hubby Tim McGraw — winner of the Male Vocalist of the Year Award — sold more than 16,000 copies of Place in the Sun, bumping it from No. 107 to No. 86. Lee Ann Womack's I Hope You Dance climbed from No. 97 to No. 53, selling more than 27,000 copies.

Movin' on Up: Disturbed's Sickness keeps climbing, jumping from No. 34 last week to No. 29 and selling more than 42,000 copies. Dido's No Angel continues its slow and steady rise, landing at No. 41 this week with sales of almost 34,000. The Deftones' White Pony sells almost 16,000 copies, moving from No. 117 to No. 88, while Very Best of Cat Stevens climbs from No. 151 all the way to No. 58, selling more than 25,500 copies. Hop on the peace train, indeed.

Bottom-Feeding: This week's No. 200: The Deep Soul, put together by Solid Gold, which sells 6,509 copies to earn the honor.

"Green Day Album Details Revealed"
Green Day has revealed the track listing for its new album, Warning, scheduled to drop Oct. 3. The 12-track disc is the band's sixth full-length, and the fourth for major label Reprise.

So what's it sound like? "There's nothing really fast, hardcore, or anything like that," singer-guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong recently told Wall of Sound. "There's a lot of songs that swing — not that we're playing swing, but what the beat is."

Armstrong describes one song on the new album, "Misery," as "kind of like an Italian funeral band playing." The album's closer, "Macy's Day Parade," is "an acoustic, ballad-type song; not a power ballad, just a ballad." And fans can look forward to hearing the handiwork of a dominatrix, hired especially for the recording session, taking a cat-o'-nine-tails to the band's engineer on "Blood, Sex, and Booze."

The trio is scheduled to shoot a video for the first single, "Minority," this weekend.
