To no ones surprise, Making The Band alums/Diddy's saviors have come in at #1 this week on the Billboard 200 charts this week. This is the second #1 album for the five reality show singers. The girls of Diddy's Bad Boy imprint moved 236,000 copies of its sophomore effort in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Danity Kane's 2006 self-titled debut also started at the top, with 234,000.It's only March, but "Dollhouse" enjoys the second-biggest sales week of the year.
Last week's No. 1, Rick Ross' "Trilla" (Slip-N-Slide/Def Jam), slips to No. 3 with a 54% sales decrease to 90,000.
Fueled by his chart-topping single "Low," Flo Rida's debut album "Mail on Sunday" (Poe Boy/Atlantic) bows at No. 4 with 86,000. The rapper has the biggest selling digital download of all time, as "Low" has sold 3.3 million downloads since its November release.
Further down, Gnarls Barkley's sophomore album, "The Odd Couple" (Downtown/Atlantic) begins at No. 18 with 31,000. The set was rushed to market last Tuesday (March 18) weeks ahead of its original April 8 release date, likely because of an early leak online. 85% of the sales were via online retail. Rapper Rocko's "Self-Made" (Rocky Road Records/Universal) is also new at No. 21 with 28,000.
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.
