You've gotta have Faith -- or at least 242,000 first-week buyers did. Though her last album was quadruple platinum, Breathe sigh-zes up as country chanteuse Faith Hill's first No. 1 pop album. Mariah Carey was the bridesmaid again at No. 2, with 228,000 sold, while Rage Against the Machine slid from the top slot to No. 4. Santana's recent chart topper, Supernatural, enjoyed its best week yet with 207,000 units, though that added up to only No. 3 in this heated frame. Pokemon's debut wasn't quite as anime-ted as Hill's, coming in at No. 8 with 129,000 sold. Neither was Savage Garden's, though the bubblegum duo managed a rosy No. 6 bow, moving 151,000.
