Album Title: Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water

Wes, call it curiousity, but what's with CSATHDFW?

"Fred made up Chocolate Starfish and I made up Hot Dog Flavored Water. We were in a truck stop, looking at those bottles of Crystal Geyser flavored water. And they didn't have hot dog flavored water or meat flavored water. I don't know . . . ugh. . . it was pretty late at night and we were talking about a bunch of garbage. And Chocolate Starfish obviously means an asshole... The butthole, you know? And so Fred calls himself Chocolate Starfish because people call him an asshole all the time. So it's like a band name: Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water. Kinda like Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band."

"Chocolate Starfish and the Hotdog Flavored Water" (Flip/Interscope), the latest album from Limp Bizkit, debuts at No. 1 this week--as expected--after selling over one million copies, according to Interscope Records. The album becomes the fourth this year to crack the one-million mark during its debut week.

Sales of 1,054,511 copies give "Chocolate Starfish" the fourth-place rank for the highest-selling debut of 2000, behind 'NSync's "No Strings Attached" (2.4 million copies in its first week), Eminem's "The Marshall Mathers LP" (1.76 million copies in its first week) and Britney Spears' "Oops! ... I Did It Again" (1.3 million copies in its first week). All four acts are staples on MTV's "Total Request Live" program.

In addition to a release-day appearance on "TRL," Limp Bizkit helped spur sales of its new disc by announcing last month that random copies of the disc's first pressing would contain gold CDs and laminates entitling the purchaser to one of several prizes, including backstage passes to the band's shows for the life of the group.

Limp Bizkit's chart-topping debut pushes Ja Rule's "Rule 3:36" (Def Jam) down a spot to No. 2 this week, which in turn bumps Nelly's "Country Grammar" (Universal) down to No. 3. Atlanta-based rapper Ludacris follows at No. 4 with his Top 10 debut, "Back for the First Time" (Def Jam).
