Jodeci's fourth album and first in twenty years, The Past, The Present, The Future, debuts at 23, their first to peak outside the top twenty. Their debut, Forever My Lady topped out at 18 in 1991 while 1993's Diary of a Mad Band went to 3 and 1995's The Show, the After Party, the Hotel went to 2.





Boz Scaggs doesn't fare quite as badly as his A Fool to Care premiers at 52. While his previous album, 2013's Memphis, debuted at number 17, A Fool to Care is his second best chart showing going back to 1988's Other Roads.





Debuting at 58 is the new Now That's What I Call Music compilation dedicated to the ACM Awards. The double album dips back as far as Merle Haggard's 1969 hit Okie From Muskogee and has music from most years up to 2012.





Ringo Starr opens at number 99 with Postcards From Paradise a position that might seem low for an ex-Beatle but is, in fact, in the general area of his last few albums. Since his 2005 album Choose Love, which didn't chart, he's released Liverpool 8 (2008 / #94), Y Not (2010 / #58), Ringo 2012 (2012 / #80) and Postcards.





An album acknowledging the 20th anniversary of the death of Selena, Lo Mejor De..., debuts at 102 while a new Grateful Dead set, The Best of the Grateful Dead, starts at 128.





England's The Prodigy start at 127 with The Day is My Enemy. Their last album, 2009's Invaders Must Die, went to 58 while the 1997 set The Fat of the Land was a chart topper.





Scott Weiland and the Wildabouts premier at 133 with Blaster. It's the first of Weiland's six albums outside of the Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver that has made the Billboard Top 200 Albums.
