Artist: Eminem

Eminem still strong in Canada
By JOHN WILLIAMS


Canadians can't seem to get enough of "The Eminem Show".

The latest release from Detroit-raised rapper Eminem remained on top of the Nielsen SoundScan Canada retail album chart for the sixth week in a row, selling 20,000 copies. It was enough to hold off Nelly's sophomore album "Nellyville" which stayed in the second spot for a second straight week with sales of 17,200.

Canadian artists Avril Lavigne and Our Lady Peace held steady in the third and fourth spot with sales of 14,700 and 9,700 respectively.

Meanwhile, despite being leaked onto the Internet several months ago, Oasis' "Heathen Chemistry" has the biggest debut of the week, checking into the fifth position with sales of 9,600.

Pink's "M!ssundaztood" (7,200) climbed a notch to sixth while Shakira's "Laundry Service" (7,100) dropped one position to seventh, The Tragically Hip's "In Violet Light" (7,000) sank from fifth to eighth, Celine Dion's "A New Day Has Come" (6,200) dropped from eighth to ninth and the compilation album "Planet Pop 4" (5,900) debuted at No. 10.

Other notable debuts included Aerosmith's "O, Yeah! Ultimate Hits" which entered at No. 16. Silverchair's "Diorama" landed at No. 23, N..O.R.E.'s "God's Favorite" came in at No. 29 and Green Day's rarities compilation "Shenanigans" premiered at No. 33.

In the U.S., "Nellyville" stayed on top for a second consecutive week, selling 447,100, ahead of "The Eminem Show" which sold 263,000 copies. The hip-hop all-star compilation "Irv Gotti Presents The Inc." had the top debut, landing in third with sales of 192,700, while Aerosmith's "O, Yeah! Ultimate Hits" debuted at No. 4 on sales of 136,800. Avril Lavigne's "Let Go" (125,300) slipped a notch to No. 5.
