Soundtrack for ‘Twilight’ is No. 1

The soundtrack for “Twilight,” the film based on Stephenie Meyer’s vampire book series, sank its teeth into the top of the national sales chart, debuting at No. 1 Wednesday after selling 165,000 copies during its first week of release.

The album, which includes songs by Linkin Park, Perry Farrell, Paramore, Muse and other rock acts, hit stores in advance of the Nov. 21 general release date for the movie. It kept AC/DC’s “Black Ice” from logging a third consecutive week at No. 1. “Black Ice” dropped to No. 2 with sales of 160,000 copies.
