Brooklyn, N.Y.-bred trio the Beastie Boys released their Beastie Boys Anthology: The Sounds Of Science compilation 10 years ago this week. The two-disc set debuted at #10, beating out Beck's Midnite Vultures on that campus chart — which entered at #12 — for the Chart Sizzler Award for the week of Dec. 2 to 9, 1999.
The Beasties have released four albums since 1996, and all have charted well. In 1998, Hello Nasty debuted at #6 as the highest new entry and rose to #1, remaining on the campus chart for 18 weeks.
The band's next new studio work in 2004, To The 5 Boroughs, entered at #18. It was the highest new entry that week, rose to #2 and remained on the chart for 13 weeks.
Two years ago, the band's last release, The Mix-Up, debuted at #17. It was runner-up to Spoon's Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga's #4 debut that week and eventually peaked at #5 and logged nine weeks on the campus chart.
The Sounds Of Science ended up rising to #3 and logging 10 weeks on the top 50. Beastie Boys have received a total of three Chart Sizzler Awards, probably the highest number for one group.
Stereolab's Cobra And Phases Group Play Voltage In The Milky Night remained at #1 again this week, in its 12th week on the chart. Danko Jones' My Love Is Bold rebounded three places to #2 after its #1 debut two weeks earlier.
SIANspheric's Else anthology rose one place to #3, followed by Handsome Boy Modelling School's So... How's Your Girl?, which held its #4 position from the previous week. Sloan's Between The Bridges dropped two places to #5.
Julie Doiron And The Wooden Stars self-titled album returned at #17 after an absence of several weeks, giving the disc a total of 12 weeks on the campus chart. Ani Difranco's To The Teeth was the third-highest debut, arriving at #18.
Other notable debuts included Mos Def's Black On Both Sides at #30, Joe Strummer And The Mescaleros' Rock Art And The X-Ray Style at #35 and Zoobombs' Let It Bomb at #40.
