(Billboard) - Singer/songwriter Jack Johnson scored his second No. 1 on the U.S. pop album chart Wednesday, while Sheryl Crow debuted at No. 2 with one of the lowest sales totals of her career.

Johnson's "Sleep Through the Static" sold 374,619 copies in the week ended February 10, according to Nielsen SoundScan data, the biggest selling debut of a very slow year.

His previous chart-topper, the soundtrack to 2006's "Curious George," kicked off with 163,000 copies.

Crow's anti-war album "Detours," sold 92,000 copies, and became her fourth consecutive album to open at No. 2. Her last release, 2005's "Wildflower," began with 140,000; in fact, this is the singer/songwriter's lowest sales debut since her 1996 self-titled sophomore album bowed with 80,000.
