No blockbusters last week, and overall sales were pretty average compared to other weeks in 2006. Album sales were up 2% last week but for the year are still down 5%.

The Hannah Montana soundtrack (Disney) sold 281,000 units (3% digital) in its first week of release and debuted at #1.(Montana is played by Miley Cyrus, daughter of BIlly Ray Cyrus.) It was one of three debuts to land inside the Top 10 -- all of them comprise the top three albums. My Chemical Romance's The Black Parade (Warner Bros) came in at #2 with 240,000 units (10% digital), and John Legend's Once Again (Columbia) took #3 with 231,000 (8% digital). (Today's Wall Street Journal profiles Legend, who used to be an associate consultant for the Boston Consulting Group.)

Jibbs debuted at #11 with 46,000 scans (2% digital) of Jibbs feat. Jibbs (Geffen). His "Chain Hang Low" is a smash ringtone and the single has sold pretty well -- 563,000 digital downloads in 14 weeks. The album, though, isn't going to keep up. I just don't see this having any legs. If Jibbs feat. Jibbs has a typical fade over the next three weeks, the first month scan total will be in the 90,000 to 95,000 range. Unless Geffen can squeeze more life out of "Chain Hang Low," or unless there's another single lurking somewhere, the album will fall past #100 and make its way off the chart. Such is the life of a full-length album by a ringtone star.

Second-week fades: Dierks Bentley, Frankie J and Ruben Studdard all faded 67%; Diddy dropped 65%; JoJo sank 57%; Vince Gill was down 53% and Sarah McLachlan dropped only 9%.

Big gain of the week: Dixie Chicks' Taking The Long Way (Columbia) rose 39% and is now at #90. The band was on "Oprah" last week to promote the documentary "Shut Up And Sing."

Jet Watch: Shine On (Atlantic) dropped another 22% and sank to #129 from #100 after four weeks of release.
