Area 51: Tidbits from SoundScan's lower reaches

Duncan While Paul McCartney was able to keep his second week dip to under 34%, Marilyn Manson's "Eat Me Drink Me" dropped a precarious 65%, selling 31,000 copies and landing at No. 30. Chris Cornell's "Carry On" took a hefty spill (56%), dropping to No. 44 from No. 17, Nielsen SoundScan reported.

Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black" enjoyed a 10% sales bump to stay at No. 10. Other top 50 acts enjoying minor sales bumps were Michael Buble, Carrie Underwood, Fergie, Taylor Swift, Nickelback, Tim McGraw, John Mayer.
