Bob Dylan just left Miley Cyrus blowing in the proverbial wind. The grizzled folk-rock icon landed his second-straight No. 1 album, selling 125,000 copies of Together Through Life, per Nielsen SoundScan, rendering the Cyrus-fueled Hannah Montana: The Movie soundtrack a distant second. The Disneyfied release moved 86,000, while last week's chart champ, Rick Ross' Deeper Than Rap, fell to No. 4. Heaven and Hell, which reunites Black Sabbath members Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler with singer Ronnie Dio and drummer Vinny Appice from the metal mavens' 1980s lineup, sold 30,000 copies of Devil You Know at No. 8. While Ozzy still fronts Black Sabbath, his bandmates formed Heaven and Hell as a creative outlet while the Ozzman does solo tours and other projects, like low-rated NBC variety shows. The peace-lovin' foundation and online music project Playing for Change followed at No. 10, selling 26,000 copies of Songs Around the World. Other notable debuts included Mike Jones's The Voice at No. 12, Tech N9ne Collabos's Sickology 101 at No. 23 and NOFX's Coaster at No. 36. Overall sales were about even with last week, but off 18 percent compared to the same period in 2008. Here's a recap of this week's top 10 albums: 1. Together Through Life, Bob Dylan 2.
