LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The Dixie Chicks' new release remained No. 1 on the U.S. pop album chart for a second week, while the Backstreet Boys moved up a notch to No. 2, swapping places with teen star Christina Aguilera, their labels said Wednesday.

``Fly,'' the distaff country trio's second major-label release, sold about 204,000 copies in the week ended Sept. 12, according to Sony Nashville. Its two-week total stands at about 545,000 units sold.

The Backstreet Boys' ``Millennium'' sold 182,000 copies in its 17th week, propelling the total to 5.7 million, said the group's Jive label. Aguilera's self-titled album sold 173,000 units, taking its three-week total to 644,000, RCA said.

Santana's ``Supernatural'' held steady at No. 4 as its sales of 139,000 copies pushed the surprise hit over the million mark to 1.2 million after 13 weeks in release, according to Arista.

Kid Rock's ``Devil Without a Cause'' rose two places to a new high of No. 5, selling 127,000 copies. Its 37-week sales total is now 2.3 million, Atlantic said.

The sole new entry to crack the top 100 was hard rock band Coal Chamber's ``Chamber Music'' at No. 22, according to the group's Roadrunner Records label. The lowest new entry was Blues Traveler frontman John Popper's solo debut, ``Zygote'' at No. 185.

Rounding out the top 10 were Britney Spears' ``...Baby One More Time'' at No. 6 (unchanged from last week); Limp Bizkit's ''Significant Other'' (down two notches to No. 7); Ricky Martin's self-titled album (up one to No. 8); Juvenile's ``400 Degreez'' (up three to a new high of No. 9); and Virgin's ``Now That's What I Call Music -- Volume 2'' compilation (up one to No. 10).
