Bryan Adams' '11' hits No. 1
By
Senior Editor, JAM! Showbiz



Bryan Adams' number came up on the Canadian album charts this week.

His 11th studio album, aptly titled "11," debuted at No. 1 with sales of just under 10,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan data.

Surprisingly, it marks the rocker's first No. 1 disc of the SoundScan era -- his best previous peak was 2004's "Room Service," which got as high as No. 2.

The big first week knocked Jack Johnson's "Sleep Through the Static" (8,000) down to No. 2, while the "Hanna Montana 2" soundtrack (6,000) continues to pick up stream, rising three positions to No. 3. It was the first of two entries -- the original "Hanna Montana" soundtrack also re-entered the top 10 at No. 10.

Rapper Flo Rida's "Mail on Sunday" checked in at No. 4, Isabelle Boulay's "Nos Lendemains" dropped three spots to No. 5, and Simple Plan's self-titled disc slipped two to No. 6.

Rounding out the top 10 was the compilation "Family Jams" at No. 7, the "Step Up 2: The Streets" soundtrack at No. 8, and Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black" at No. 9.

Other notable debuts included MC Mario's "Mixdown 2008" at No. 29, and Daniel Lanois' "Here Is What Is" at No. 31.

In the U.S., Danity Kane's "Welcome to the Dollhouse" hit No. 1, followed by "NOW 27" in second, Rick Ross' "Trilla" in third, Flo Rida in fourth, and Jack Johnson in fifth.
