Also debuting big was Atlantic records artist Plies who comes in at #2 on the charts with his first major label album "The Real Testament". The album sold 91,000 units on the strength of the lead single "Shawty" Feat. T-Pain and a rabid hometown fanbase.

Common slips to #7 during his second week in stores while Fergie and T.I. hang strong in the top 10. Justin Timberlake saw a surge in sales this week as his "Futuresex/Lovesounds" album had a 6% increase in sales.

Cuz T.I. sold the album with his name. It didn't matter if it was good or not. His name got him the sales.
