Velvet Revolver

Rock 'n roll baddies Velvet Revolver shot up the Canadian charts this week, but couldn't pierce the No. 1 spot in the land.

The band's sophomore CD "Libertad" debuted at No. 2 with 11,000 in sales, behind Bon Jovi's "Lost Highway" (16,000), which remained at No. 1 for a third consecutive week.

Velvet Revolver failed to match the successful debut of their first album, "Contraband," which checked in at No. 1 back in June of 2004, according to Nielsen SoundScan data.

Unfortunately, it was the same story down south for the Velvets. "Libertad" checked in at No. 5 in the U.S. with 92,000 in sales, far from the No. 1 debut of "Contraband," which had 256,000 in first week sales, according to Billboard.com.

Back in Canada, Claude Dubois' "Duos Dubois" and Rihanna's "Good Girl Gone Bad" both climbed up one position to No. 3 and No. 4, respectively, while the White Stripes' "Icky Thump" was bumped from No. 3 to No. 5.

After premiering at No. 2 last week, Kelly Clarkson's latest disc "My December" went cold, sinking four spots to No. 6, while rapper T.I.'s "T.I. vs. T.I.P." had the second biggest entry at No. 7.

Michael Buble's "Call Me Irresponsible" dropped from No. 6 to No. 8, likewise for Avril Lavigne's "The Best Damn Thing," which slipped from No. 7 to No. 9, and Linkin Park rounded out the top 10 at No. 10.

Other notable debuts included Silverstein's "Arrivals & Departure" at No. 25, the "Transformers" soundtrack at No. 27, and the Chemical Brothers' "We Are the Night" at No. 39.

In the U.S., T.I. came in at No. 1, followed by Miley Cyrus' double disc "Hannah Montana 2/Meet Miley Cyrus" in second, Kelly Clarkson in third, and Bon Jovi in fourth.
