Depending on how Aaliyah defines success, the R&B enigma may have to dust herself off and try again.
Alicia Keys' Songs in A Minor will hold steady at #1 on next week's Billboard 200 albums chart, leaving Aaliyah's self-titled third album to debut at #2.
Songs in A Minor moved more than 221,000 units last week, while Aaliyah sold about 186,000 copies, according to SoundScan data released Wednesday (July 25). The latter, Aaliyah's first album in five years, includes the Timbaland-produced first single "We Need a Resolution."
Foxy Brown will debut at #5 with her first new album in three years, Broken Silence, while Kurupt will slide in at #10 with his new album, Space Boogie: Smoke Oddessey.
Driven by the success of the smooth single "Fill Me In," British two-step crooner Craig David's Born to Do It will debut at #11.
Despite radio play for Willa Ford's "I Wanna Be Bad" the pop singer's first album, Willa Was Here, will make an underwhelming debut at #56. Another singer with a successful single, Jessica Simpson, will continue to see her Irresistible slip in the chart, this time falling from #42 to #51.
The rest of the top 10 will include D12's Devils Night at #3, Staind's Break the Cycle at #4, P. Diddy & the Bad Boy Family's The Saga Continues ... holding strong at #6, Destiny's Child's Survivor at #7, Jagged Edge's Jagged Little Thrill at #8 and Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory at #9.
Alien Ant Farm will hop from #41 to #30 next week with Anthology, boosted by their cover of Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal." Ginuwine's Life will skip from #98 to #90, and Trick Daddy's Thugs Are Us will continue to rise, moving from #43 to #38.
