Billboard Update



^This week's #1 album on the Billboard 200 chart
This week's #1 single on the Hot 100 chart^

See full charts HERE.

Well folks, here we see a rare week in which the pole position of both major charts ROCKS. Danity Kane sees their sophomore album Welcome To The Dollhouse top the Billboard 200, their second to do so, making them the only female group ever to have their first two albums top the chart (Rap-Up). Meanwhile, Leona Lewis has taken over the US as well, topping the Hot 100 with her 7-week #1 in her native UK, "Bleeding Love." She is the first female to have her debut single top the chart since Fergie with "London Bridge" in 2006 (Rap-Up) & the first British female solo artist to top the chart in over 20 years (Reuters). Wow, what a mouthful! I'm really happy for them, especially Leona because I didn't know if the US would embrace her, as we never give the good stuff from across the pond the time of day. Heck, she beat Usher! Of course, "Love In This Club" has already fallen from #1 without a video in sight...
