Top Of The Charts: Eminem Knocked Out By Blunt Instrument

Eminem's seven-week reign at the top of the Canadian sales chart has been ended by James Blunt, as the Detroit rapper's Curtain Call and the British singer's six-month-old Back To Bedlam have traded the #1 and #2 spots that they held last week.

Madonna's Confessions On A Dance Floor remains ensconced at #3 for the third straight week, but there's some fresh blood directly below her. 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.
