DIDDY’S BOYS REPLACE DIDDY’S GIRLS AT THE TOP
Rap mogul SEAN ‘DIDDY’ COMBS has scored an odd double at the top of the U.S.
albums chart by replacing one band he created with another.
Day26, who won Diddy’s most recent Making The Band reality contest, have toppled the rapper’s manufactured all-girl group Danity Kane to claim the number one spot on the Billboard 200.
Day26’s self-titled debut claimed the top spot with 190,000 album sales; Danity Kane’s Welcome To The Dollhouse slides to four on the new countdown.
Meanwhile, Panic At The Disco’s Pretty. Odd. debuts at two and rock veterans Counting Crows enter the chart at three with their first album in six years, Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings.
Hits compilation NOW 27 slips three places to five to round out the top five.
The White Stripes star Jack White’s other band The Raconteurs also enjoyed a big debut - despite only announcing the release of their new album, Consolers Of The Lonely, two weeks ago, the group debuts at number seven with 42,000 sales.
And Funplex, the B-52’s’ first studio album in nearly 16 years, has become their new label Astralwerks’ highest debut at 11 - with 30,000 first-week sales. (KL/BB/GES) WENN - SIXTH - HOLLYWOOD, SHOWBIZ & PEOPLE NEWS - 2 APRIL 2008
