Yellowcard's fourth album, Lights And Sounds, enters the chart at #4.Nickelback's All The Right Reasons, The Legend Of Johnny Cash and Il Divo's Ancora have the #5 through #7 positions on the chart, just like they did a week ago. MuchDance 2006 slips four spots to #8, the Grammy Nominees compilation debuts at #9, and Fall Out Boy's From Under The Cork Tree holds firm at #10.There are some (semi) fresh faces farther down the chart as well, as three other albums debut in the top 40: Gino Vannelli's These Are The Days at #18, P.O.D.'s Testify at #34 and Marty Casey & The Lovehammers' self-titled release at #38.All chart information is from Nielsen SoundScan.
