For Linkin Park, its “A Thousand Suns” opener is off from the 623,000 that greeted its last studio album, 2007’s “Minutes to Midnight,” when it debuted at No. 1. However, “Passion” represents Songz’s best sales week yet and his highest-charting album. His previous high-water marks came when last year’s “Ready” started at No. 3 with 131,000.
