Look at Prince since he came out of the NPG Records basement and hooked up with major labels. His previously album Musicology, with the help of ticket bundling strategy, was a top ten mainstay. Now, with 3121, Prince has further removed himself from his relatively unheralded DIY days by debuting atop the album chart for the very first time. 3121 sold a firm 183,000 units, well above of freak hit High School Musical's 152,000. James Blunt is still on an Oprah high at 110,000.

And that's it. Those three are the only albums to top the century mark.

Speaking of century mark, Bo Bice has dropped below it. The Real Thing is well under #100 on the list and dropping like a dead bird.

Two debuts worth noting. FIrst is BG's The Heart of Tha Streetz, Vol. 2: I Am What I Am, which came in a #6 with 62,000. Pretty good for indie label Koch. Also, teen singer-songwriter Teddy Geiger's Underage Thinking came in at #8 with 56,000 units shifted to mostly young, female consumers. It's good to see "Love Monkey" wasn't all for naught.

Lastly, everybody's favorite guilty pleasure, American Idol graduate Kelly Clarkson, topped the five million mark this week with her debut album Breakaway.
