REFORMED rock star Rod Stewart leaped to the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Top Album chart with his latest collection, “Stardust . . . The Great American Songbook: Volume III.”

The standards crooner hasn’t crowned the charts in 25 years – since 1979’s “Blondes Have More Fun.”

It’s also Stewart’s first ever No. 1 debut, selling 241,000 copies last week, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Further down the line, Jimmy Eat World‘s latest, “Futures,” came out of the gate at No. 6. And Brooks & Dunn‘s “Greatest Hits Collection II” hit No. 7 its first week out.
