THE CHART

A GOOD ‘BOUNCE’

With Elvis representing the ’50s, and the Stones the ’60s, the album chart needed somebody like Bon Jovi to come along and give the ’80s a good name. The band’s Bounce leapt into the fray at No. 2 on sales of 160,000 units. It wasn’t a bad week for rock in general, with debuts from Tom Petty at No. 9 (74,000 units) and Chevelle at No. 14 (61,000) joining junior belter Avril Lavigne and Disturbed. Country and rap also kicked in new biz, with No. 11 Keith Urban (66,000) and No. 15 Jurassic 5 (59,000). On the down side, the American Idol phenomenon is fading now that viewers have to pay to hear the star-searchers, with the kids’ compilation dropping to No. 10 in week 2.
