Bad Boy's five-girl group, Danity Kane, grabbed their second no. 1 album in a row this week, beating out releases by Flo Rida, Gnarls Barkley, and ATL rapper Rocko.
Danity Kane's sophomore release, Welcome To The Dollhouse, sold 236,000 in its opening week, placing them in the throne. Another interesting note, is that this second album sold 2,000 more than their 2006 self-title debut, which sold 234,000 in its opening week.
Despite selling over 3 million digital downloads of "Low," making it the highest selling digital single of all-time, Flo Rida's debut, Mail On Sunday, only managed to land at no. 4 in its first week, scanning just 86,000 units.
Gnarls Barkley's second album, Odd Couple, sold just 31,000 copies for its debut week on the charts, putting them at no. 18, due mostly to the duo sudden moving their release date up to battle bootleggers.
Atlanta native, Rocko, who's debut, Self-Made, bows at no. 21 with 27,800 copies sold, thanks to his buzzing street single, "Umma Do Me."
Also this week, Rick Ross snagged no. 3 with 90,300 copies of Trilla sold, after landing at no. 1 last week. He's sold 289,000 and some change at just two weeks.
Snoop Dogg's Ego Trippin' slided down four spots to no. 7 this week, scanning another 57,300 copies of his ninth solo album. The album recorded Snoop's lowest opening week sales of his career.
And poor Fat Joe. After claiming the no. 6 spot last week with The Elephant In The Room, he took a major nose dive landing at no. 56 in the album's second week.
According to Billboard.com, album sales this week are up 11.3% over the prior week to 8.83 million and down 1.1% compared to the same week in 2007.
