Tool: From Coachella to No. 1

FRESH from its searing headliner performance at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, the dark prog-rock band Tool has the No. 1 album in the nation with “10,000 Days,” according to Nielsen SoundScan, which tracks music retail sales.

The first Tool studio album since “Lateralus” in 2001, “10,000 Days” sold 564,000 copies during its debut week in stores, the second-best single-week total this year (the most recent Rascal Flatts album hit 722,000 in early April).

The Tool total more than doubled the sales for this week’s No. 2 entry: “Pearl Jam,” the eighth studio album from the veteran Seattle band.

That CD, which features the raucous modern-rock radio single “World Wide Suicide,” sold 279,000 copies its first week in stores.

Mobb Deep, the New York hip-hop duo of Havoc and Prodigy, has the No. 3 spot on the charts with “Blood Money,” which sold 106,000 copies. The album features contributions from Mary J. Blige plus a gallery of G-Unit associates: Young Buck, Tony Yayo, Lloyd Banks and, of course, 50 Cent.

There are two other debuts in the Top 10: At No. 8, Alaskan hippie-pop is represented by Jewel’s “Goodbye Alice in Wonderland,” while two spots lower is the Nashville sound of Phil Vassar and his “Greatest Hits, Vol. 1.” Those CDs sold 82,000 and 65,000 copies, respectively.
