Tool made a strong showing the first week out of the gate with their latest album �Lateralus�. First week sales for the album were 555,000 which effectively knocked Destiny�s Child from the top spot on the Billboard 200 and gave Tool their highest chart debut and best selling week for any release.
It wasn�t just the U.S. fans that snapped up �Lateralus� last week; The album also grabbed the No. 1 spot on the Australian and Canadian charts and hit the Top 10 around the world including Holland, Germany, Sweden, Austria, New Zealand and Norway.
Missy Elliott also made a strong showing on Billboard last week by taking the No. 2 spot with sales of over 250,000 units for her �Miss E�album. Weezer�s self titled third album (a.k.a. �The Green Album�) debuted at No.4 with sales of 215,000 units and R.E.M. came in at No. 6 by selling 126,000 copies of their �Reveal� album.
Tool headed to Europe this week for a month long tour. An announcement of plans for a North American tour is expected soon.
