This week is all about Back to Basics, the new album by Christina Aguilera. She's in the upper echelon of not just female artists but all artists. It's been almost four years since her last album, though, and in pursuit of a more timeless feel Aguilera ditched producer Scott Storch for DJ Premiere and celebrity freelancer Linda Perry. AllMusic.com's Stephen Thomas Erlewine approved of the change, giving Back to Basics four and a half stars and calling it a “sprawling, deliriously entertaining” double album.

Obie Trice's new album, Second Round's On Me, is being released on Shady/Interscope. It's been almost three years since his last album, Cheers, was released. It has sold over 900,000 to date.

Trace Adkins' last album, Songs About Me, has sold over 1.5 million since coming out in March of 2005. It had about 63,000 sales in the first week. A similar first week this time around would put it somewhere in the Top 10.

Adkins album is just one of many Capitol albums being released this week – there are others by girl group Cherish, The Panic Channel (featuring members of Jane's Addiction not named Perry or Eric) and a live Bonnie Raitt CD/DVD.

Atlantic has Ghetto Story by dancehall artist Cham. Alicia Keys and Akon make guest appearances.
