This week's top ten albums have seven debuts and is topped by Danity Kane's self-titled debut on Bad Boy that used the band's exposure in "Making the Band 3" to sell 234,000 last week. That bested OutKast's Idlewild (LaFace), which came in at #2 with 196,000. Mana's Amar Es Combatir (WEA Latina) came in at #4 with 86,000 first week sales.

The great Paris Hilton experiment landed with a fairly hallow thud. Her debut solo album, Paris (Warner Bros), sold just shy of 77,000 in its first week and debuted at #7 (and sold only 5% in the digital format, which is low for a Warner album). Lamb of God's Sacrament (Epic) took #8 with 63,000 in its first week. J Records' Ultimate Luther Vandross debuted at #9 with 59,000 sales. Rounding out the top ten was Kelis's Kelis Was Here (LaFace) with 58,000 first week sales.

Further down the chart, DJ Kayslay & DJ Greg Street moved over 14,000 of Champions: North Meets South (Koch).

Big gainer of the week: Hinder's Extreme Behavior shot up another 16% and rose to #18 from #19.

The YouTube Effect: Riding the Internet success of its choreographed treadmill video, OK Go's Oh No (Capitol) enters the Top 200 at #190. It was released in August of 2005.

Second-week fades: Lyfe Jennings and Obie Trice nosedived 62%, Christina Aguilera skidded 61%, Trace Adkins was down 55%, Cherish faded 48% and the Cheeta Girls 2 soundtrack dropped only 7%.

The total market was even over last week and is down 6% for the year. That deficit comes from a slowing of new albums. Catalog sales are down 4% for the year, and deep catalog sales are even for the year. Current releases are what's dragging overall sales down -- they're down 7% for the year.
