Teen phenom Chris Brown debuted at No. 4 this week with his albumExclusive, which sold 294,000 copies. The album includes the singles "Wall to Wall" and "Kiss Kiss" featuring R&B everywhere-man T-Pain.

Also debuting this week was Cassidy, who landed at No. 10 with his album B.A.R.S. (The Barry Adrian Reese Story), which sold 63,000 copies and features heavy production from rapper/producer/Full Surface Records front-man Swizz Beatz.
