Lauryn Hill has staved off challenges from both the Kiss Army and some righteous rockers to regain the top spot on The Billboard 200. “The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill” (Ruffhouse/Columbia) returns to No. 1 on the chart this week, selling 168,000 units, according to SoundScan. Glam rockers Kiss score their highest debut ever with “Psycho-Circus” (Mercury), which enters at No. 3 (109,500 units sold), while Christian act dc Talk channels some divine intervention with “Supernatural” (Forefront/Virgin), which bows at No. 4 (106,000 copies moved). Bounding up to No. 2 is the eponymous debut by RCA teen favorites ‘N Sync, which sold 113,000 units.

Last week’s chart-topper, Marilyn Manson’s “Mechanical Animals” Nothing/Interscope), tumbles to No. 5 this week on the strength of 98,000 copies shifted, while R&B crooner Keith Sweat remains a player with “Still In The Game,” which bows at No. 6 on sales of 97,000 units. The Beastie Boys’ “Hello Nasty” (Capitol/Grand Royal) greets the No. 7 spot (92,000 units), while another rap album, the Def Jam/Mercury soundtrack to “Rush Hour,” drops a place to No. 8 (92,000 copies). Barenaked Ladies are still pulling tricks at No. 9, as “Stunt” (Reprise/Warner Bros.) sold 87,000 copies, while pop/country queen Shania Twain wraps up the top 10 with “Come On Over” (Mercury Nashville), which enjoyed sales of 86,000 copies.
