'Twilight' Dethrones AC/DC

Twilight's taking over, well, just about everything. On Wednesday, its soundtrack debuted at No. 1 on the U.S. pop chart. I bet rock band AC/DC (which bested High School Musical 3's soundtrack) was irked to find its two-week reign on the top spot cut short as the Twilight phenomenon upped sales to 165,000 copies. Twilight, which boasts tracks from Linkin Park, Paramore, Muse and star Rob Pattinson, is the third No. 1 soundtrack of the year after Juno and Mamma Mia!, Reuters reports. As an avid music fan herself, author Stephenie Meyer may have spawned an ardent new fan base when she posted playlists on her blog to listen to while reading her book.
