 On this week's Billboard 200, it's country trio Rascal Flatts, and Hannah Montana who take the top spots, but we also see debuts from the likes of Jadakiss and Mims, as well.
In at no. 3 is Jadakiss' The Last Kiss, which earned the New York rapper his third consecutive top five charting. The album sold 135,000 copies, following his last album, 2004's Kiss of Death, which opened at no. 1 with 246,000 copies.
