The most successful Alice Cooper album is “Billion Dollar Babies,” which spent the week of Apat No. “Diamonds” is the 23rd chart album of Cooper’s career, which began with the debut of “Pretties for You” in June 1969. That’s Cooper’s highest-debuting and highest-charting set since “The Last Temptation of Alice Cooper,” which debuted and peaked at No. ‘DIAMONDS’ ARE A GUY’S BEST FRIEND: Rock veteran Alice Cooper has his highest-charting album on The Billboard 200 in 11 years. If momentum can carry it up the chart another 12 places, it will replace “Let’s Get Down” as Bow Wow’s second-biggest hit. Meanwhile, Bow Wow’s new single, “Like You” featuring Ciara, makes a major move, jumping 49-25 in its third frame. That, in turn, was the biggest hit for the artist born Shad Moss until his current collaboration with Omarion, “Let Me Hold You” (Columbia), which is holding at No. It remained Lil Bow Wow’s biggest hit until September 2003, when “Let’s Get Down,” featuring Baby, peaked at No. Featuring the girl group Xscape, the track debuted at No. “Bounce With Me” is the song that marked Lil Bow Wow’s first appearance on the Hot 100. One is the highest-charting title of his career and the other is looking like it will be his second biggest hit. This week he has two songs in the top 30 portion of the chart.
WOW FACTOR: It was exactly five years ago this week that Bow Wow - then just 13 years old and known as Lil Bow Wow - made his debut on the Billboard Hot 100. If it goes all the way, it would become her sixth No. If McBride’s interpretation of “Rose Garden” achieves top 10 status, it would be her 19th top tier hit. 51 in 1987 this week marks South’s first appearance on the chart as a songwriter since the Baker single. A remake of that last title by Butch Baker peaked at No. 16 in 1961 and “Don’t It Make You Want to Go Home” reached No. Although it was a pop hit, it was the lowest-charting of his three country entries. That same year, South made his third and final appearance on the country chart as an artist, when “Walk a Mile in My Shoes” went to No. The single had debuted seven weeks earlier at No. 1 on the country chart, in a reign that began on Dec. 16.Īnderson’s recording of the South composition spent five weeks at No. McBride’s “Garden” is from her forthcoming album, “Timeless,” a collection of cover versions of vintage country songs. Her 41st song to chart is a familiar title, “(I Never Promised You a) Rose Garden” (RCA), a remake of Lynn Anderson’s 1970 hit “Rose Garden,” written by Joe South. BEGGING YOUR PARDON: Martina McBride has the highest new entry on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs list, thanks to the No.
