Isabelle Boulay's "Tout un Jour," which checked in at No. 2 last week, sank four spots to sixth, the Black Eyed Peas' "Elephunk" claimed the seventh spot, and Guns N' Roses' "Greatest Hits" moved down to eighth.

Evanescence's "Fallen" and Hoobastank's "The Reason" both fell two notches to No. 9 and No. 10, respectively.
