By Margo Whitmire, L.A.
The 19th "NOW That's What I Call Music!" installment -- boasting popular cuts by Gwen Stefani, Coldplay, the Killers and Gorillaz -- this week becomes the series' seventh No. 1 on The Billboard 200. The multi-label hits compilation sold 436,000 copies in the United States, according the Nielsen SoundScan, more than 300,000 above its closest competition.The EMI Group/Universal/Sony BMG/Zomba/Capitol effort also fares better than the previous installment. Vol. 18, which included songs by U2, Snoop Dogg, Destiny's Child and Chingy, started at No. 2 with 338,000 units in March and has sold 1.2 million to date. The Billboard 200 hosts two other top tier debuts this week, as Carly Simon notches her highest-charting album in more than 30 years and gospel act Mary Mary earns a career-best perch.Simon's "Moonlight Serenade" enters at No. 7 with 58,000 units, her highest chart peak since 1974's No. 3 entry "Hotcakes" and her biggest sales week since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking data in 1991. Her fourth standards album and Columbia debut features songs like "I Only Have Eyes for You" and "I've Got You Under My Skin."With sales of 57,000, Mary Mary's self-titled Columbia effort opens at No. 8 -- the duo's highest placing on The Billboard 200 and best sales week of its career. Their latest is led by the song "Heaven," which notches a ninth week atop the Hot Gospel Songs chart. Previously, the act went as high as No. 20 with 2002's "Incredible," which bowed with 43,000 and has sold 511,000 to date.The No. 1 bow for "NOW 19" ends the two-week reign of R. Kelly's "TP.3 Reloaded" (Jive), which falls to No. 3 on a 40% slide to 83,000. Mariah Carey's "The Emancipation of Mimi" (Island/Def Jam) climbs 5-2 despite a 10% dip to 90,000 and Coldplay's "X&Y" (Capitol) holds steady at No. 4 for a second week with 81,000 units (-18%).Bow Wow's "Wanted" (Columbia) drops 3-5 on a 49% plunge to 61,000, while the Black Eyed Peas' "Monkey Business (A&M/Interscope) rises 8-6 even though sales slipped 8% to 60,000.Gorillaz's "Demon Days" (Parlophone/Virgin) moves into the top 10 with a 14-9 jump on a 10% boost to 56,000 copies while Foo Fighters' "In Your Honor" (RCA/Roswell) rebounds 11-10 despite a 10% sales fall to 53,000.Atlanta quintet B5 makes its Billboard 200 debut this week at No. 19 thanks to sales of 44,000 copies of its self-titled Bad Boy bow. The group will hit the road for select dates on the upcoming Scream IV tour with Bow Wow, Omarion, Marques Houston and Bobby Valentino.Other notable entries include the Columbia/Sony Music Soundtrax "Dukes of Hazzard" soundtrack at No. 33 with 27,000 copies and Virgin's "Jermaine Dupri Presents... Young Fly and Flashy, Vol. 1" at No. 43 with 21,000. Overall U.S. album sales were down 1% from the previous week at 10.2 million units, about 10.5% off from the same week last year.

CHRISTOPHER S. BECOMES A PRIEST....CELEBRATES FIRST MASS!
A local seminarian from our church, Christopher S., was ordained a Roman Catholic priest yesterday by our bishop in Charleston!!!!!! THE WHOLE ORDINATION MASS WAS BREATHTAKING!!!!! :)= It was soooo cool!
Today Father S. celebrated his first mass.!.! It was such an amazing thing to witness. Chris was almost in tears at the end of the mass when he gave out his thank yous. Both receptions after these masses were huge and they were both really great parties!!!!!!! Today's mass was so beautiful and exuberant of Christ. I have learned so much about the Catholic faith, you cannot imagine it!!!! It is been a very "Catholic" weekend!!!!!!! The things that I remember most about his first mass as a priest is the way it was all carried out!!! IT WAS DONE ALMOST ENTIRELY IN LATIN!!!!!! It was so amazing to hear a dead language spoken and sung by so many people! The homily, given by another priest, is one of the best I have ever heard!!!!! I think this is one of the best masses I have ever attended, since my first mass at St. Mary's. Both of our priests are wonderful. Another memorable high point of the mass was the amount of people serving on the altar. Around 20 men and boys served Father S. during his celebration. It was the most people serving a mass, that I have been to, since the day of his ordination!!!!!!! I AM SOOOOOOOOO HAPPY FOR CHRISTOPHER THAT HE FOUND THE CATHOLIC CHURCH!!!!!
MAY GOD KEEP AND BLESS CHRIS FOREVER !!!!!
PLEASE PRAY THAT GOD MAY HELP CHRIS WITH HIS PRIESTHOOD THROUGHOUT THE REST OF HIS ENTIRE LIFE!!!! (IT'S AN AMAZING SACRIFICE!!!!)
Also, on Saturday I went to see Tony Melendez and his Toe Jam Band at a local church!!!! THIS GUY IS AMAZING. He has no arms and he plays the guitar with his feet!!!!!!!! He was very good and very talented along with his band!!! Please pray for him because Sony Records has offered him a deal to sell his next record!!!!!!! I, actually, got both the drummer's and HIS autograph after the show. He is such a compassionate person!!!!!! His concert was very moving and I hope many more will go to see him. He was actually kissed by Pope John Paul II, himself, in 1986!!! This was so cool to hear him tell the audience this. (Since he has no hands, he has to use his feet to drive, turn pages, and play guitar) His tour right now is titled, "The Pope John Paul II Memorial Tour." GO SEE HIM IF YOU CAN!!!!
I, also, met a few cool seminarians today at the reception! They were all friends of Christopher S.' They were very kind and I hope God blesses them and their vocations. THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THE TIME YOU SPENT WITH ME AND MY FAMILY TODAY!!!!
SHOUTOUTS TO ALL WHO WENT TO THE ORDINATION OF CHRISTOPHER S., THE TONY MELENDEZ CONCERT, THE FIRST MASS OF CHRISTOPHER S., AND YOUTH GROUP TONIGHT!!!! I LOVE AND APPRECIATE YALL SO MUCH. MAY GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU ALWAYS IN HIS ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOVE YOU ALL IN CHRIST, AND KEEP PRAYING FOR CHRISTOPHER S. MINISTRY,

Lindley Mayer crowned Miss SC Teen
Lindley Mayer dances to 'Hound Dog,' during the talent portion of the Miss SC Teen Pageant.
By Stephanie F. Norton CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Golden Strip resident Lindley Mayer stole the show when she took the crown July 1 during the finale of the 5th annual Miss South Carolina Teen Pageant.
Mayer, a 16-year-old rising junior at J.L. Mann Academy, accepted the crown and a bouquet of roses with tears in her eyes, and took her first walk as queen, waving and blowing kisses to the cheering audience. She looked up and mouthed "Thank you, God" as she neared the end of her walk.
Earlier in the week, Mayer won two preliminary competitions, talent and physical fitness. For her talent, Mayer performed a high energy tap routine to "Hound Dog," wearing a two piece black costume with a rhinestone studded hot pink collar and belt.
In 1996, Mayer became the Miss South Carolina Organization's very first Palmetto Princess. Palmetto Princesses are girls ages 6-16 who are mentored into the Miss South Carolina Teen Program by their older title-holders.
"This has been my dream for years," Mayer said, catching her breath after the pageant. "I've always looked up to my queens."
Inspired by her 15-year-old brother Brock and 10-year-old sister Brantley, both born with mental and physical disabilities, Mayer shares the message that has motivated and sustained her throughout her young life: "Start making a difference one miracle at a time."
For her platform, L.A.D.Y. Bugs Across America (Lindley's Alliance for Disabled Youth), she received a $500 community service award at Friday night's competition.
One of the greatest thrills of the night for Mayer was having her brother and sister there to share her joy.
Her sister, Brantley, participated on stage in the pageant production as one of 70 Palmetto Princesses.
"It was amazing having Brantley here with me," Mayer said after the pageant. "She's a miracle."
At the end of the pageant, Mayer's brother, Brock, joined her onstage, barely able to contain his excitement.
Mayer leaned over and whispered to him, "You're my angel."
As Miss South Carolina Teen, Mayer receives a $5,000 savings bond and will compete Aug. 17-20 in Orlando, Fla., in the first ever Miss America Outstanding Teen Pageant.
Mayer also won a Teen Community Spirit $1,000 cash business card challenge and was Teen Recognition Page winner, winning a $1,000 savings bond.

Golden Strip resident Lindley Mayer stole the show when she took the crown July 1 during the finale of the 5th annual Miss South Carolina Teen Pageant.
Mayer, a 16-year-old rising junior at J.L. Mann Academy, accepted the crown and a bouquet of roses with tears in her eyes, and took her first walk as queen, waving and blowing kisses to the cheering audience. She looked up and mouthed "Thank you, God" as she neared the end of her walk.
Earlier in the week, Mayer won two preliminary competitions, talent and physical fitness. For her talent, Mayer performed a high energy tap routine to "Hound Dog," wearing a two piece black costume with a rhinestone studded hot pink collar and belt.

My First Day Away Since June! =0 !
Yes, it's true, I'll have to admit. I haven't been outside at the pool or in the water since my beach vacation in early June. I am amazed, myself, that I finally got out today. I, actually, went to the pool for the first time this summer. BOY, does it feel good!!! I, also, went on a long bike ride with my sis. It was enjoyable as well. I, also, saw a few people today and from past days whom I shall mention now, since I have not seen many people in a while!

Well, Friends, Summer Is ALMOST Over
Dear Friends,
I miss you all so much. I can't wait for the party plans to be finished, as well. I am as hopeful as you all are. I would now like to say that I just finished reading "A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court" by Mark Twain. It was an excellent read. Yesterday, I began "The Lovely Bones." It is pretty good, so far!!! I hope all of you are enjoying your summer reading!!!!

Hey everyone!!!!!!
I am so excited about LIVE 8 today. I am very happy that Bono has put together this event. I hope he gets much gratitude from his fans about it.

This is such a worthwhile cause for our generation to act out to end poverty in our world. This is so amazing, I am speechless. ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS...
