October 28,2004 - The third time is the charm for Rod Stewart, who with his third collection of standards sits at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 for the first time in more than 25 years. The artist's J Records release, "Stardust...The Great American Songbook, Vol. 3," opened with first-week sales of 240,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Stewart's last chart-topping album was his 1978 set "Blondes Have More Fun," which sat at the summit for three weeks.
