Debuting on the charts last week were a collection of artists that range from Hip-Hop to R&B. Even first week releases made the top album charts while some even stayed at the top after a several weeks of their initial release. 

Veteran artist Janet Jackson debuted at number 1 last week with her album 'Discipline' moving 181,000 CD's in the first week. Right above Erykah Badu ‘s 'New Amerykah Part 1' that came in at number 2 moving 124,000 units. After 16 weeks on the charts, Alicia Keys with As I Am is still reigning in at the top ranking in at number 5. Further down the charts, fellow R&B diva Mary J. Blige’s Growing Pains is still ranking in at number 11 after being 11 weeks on.  Definitely have to give it to both these four legends for releasing albums that made the top. Ranking in at number 16 after being on the charts for over 23 weeks, another R&B vocalist, Keyshia Cole is still holding it down on the top 20 level with her album Just Like You.  

In the rap portion of the charts, Webbie ranked in at number 4 with his sophomore LP 'Savage Life 2' moving 72,500 units, after its initial first week release. Webbie’s single, Independent, is still in heavy rotation on radio stations across the nation. D4L CEO Shawty Lo released his debut album, 'Units in the City' and ranked in at number 13 after its first week’s release which moved 31,000 units. His single Dey Know is hitting the club scene crucial and this is including his remix featuring several other fellow major artists in the rap game today.  

Congratulations to all those artists that made Top 20 on the chart toppers, some on their first week debut, to the others that stayed on the charts for several weeks.
