Barry Manilow has posed a threat on the album charts, but "Hannah Montana" is still the champ. The "Hannah Montana" soundtrack sold 203-thousand copies in its second week of release, according to industry figures. That keeps it in the number-one spot on the album chart. Barry Manilow's new album, "The Greatest Songs of The Sixties," sold nearly 202-thousand copies, putting it at number two.

Manilow had hoped for just the third No. 1 of his career with the new album, but the 63-year-old star was edged out for the title by a 13-year-old named Miley Cyrus. Cyrus is better known for playing the title character of "Hannah Montana," the Disney Channel series.

Roger Friedman from Fox411 reports he has been told that Greek-Brit Steven Georgiou , now known as Yusuf Islam , has been granted a visa and will enter the United States in mid-December.

Yusuf — that's what he wants to be called — was involved in an embarrassing incident in 2004 when he and his daughter were denied entry into the U.S. because his name was found on a "no-fly" list. How utterly ridiculous, since it turned out the person in question was someone else.

Friedman states that "when he visits America next month, I hope Yusuf will get a fair airing on TV like " Regis " and " Ellen ." If he plays his cards right over the next few months, he might even get that Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction he clearly deserves. "
