LOS ANGELES (Billboard) - Jimmy Buffett ( news ) proved he isn't "wasting away" anywhere as he topped the U.S. pop albums chart on Wednesday for the first time in his three-decade career.

The laid-back singer/songwriter's latest effort, "License to Chill" (RCA), sold 238,600 copies in its first week of release ended July 18, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Buffett first appeared on the Billboard 200 in 1974 with "Living and Dying in 3/4 Time" -- recorded for the long-gone Dunhill/ABC -- which peaked at No. 176. The artist, famed for the 1977 pop hit "Margaritaville," has done a bit better since. His previous studio set, 2002's "Far Side of the World" -- released on his own Mailboat Records label -- opened at No. 5 with 78,500 copies; it has sold 384,000 copies to date.
