I think she is doing decent.
Ouch, at Jesse and Ashlee, they are dropping hard.

For a moment I thought Britney was gone. Glad she's still there.

I almost forgot about Jesse. Wow, his album is barely going to reach 100,000 in sales.

If he keeps going down like that, he will barely reach 60k.

I was just about to say that. Too bad even a Top 10 hit can't help these days.

Disturbed Destroys Weezer, Journey, Ashanti, Jewel
Los Angeles (E! Online) - Indestructible had to live up to its name this week.
Disturbed faced big-time competition as Weezer, Journey, Ashanti, Jewel and the latest installment in the powerhouse Now That's What I Call Music! series all debuted in the top 10, but the self-produced Indestructible was an unstoppable force at No. 1. The Chicago metal act won the week ended Sunday by selling 252,000 copies, per Nielsen SoundScan.
Indestructible, which leads at rock radio with "Inside the Fire," is the band's third album to top the charts in four tries. Disturbed's Ten Thousand Fists opened with 239,000 copies in 2005, while 2002's Believe topped its competition with a career-best 284,000-copy bow.
Now That's What I Call Music! 28 locked up the No. 2 spot, selling 185,000 copies. The newest Now! disc features such No. 1s as Leona Lewis' "Bleeding Love" and Lil Wayne's "Lollipop." Now! 27 also opened at No. 2 in March; 2007's Now! 25 is the last in the series to open at No. 1.
After scoring the year's second-biggest bow last week, Usher's Here I Stand fell to No. 3 on 145,000 copies. In contrast, his megahit Confessions held the top spot for nine nonconsecutive weeks four summers ago.
Weezer's new self-titled album, aka The Red Album, slid into the No. 4 spot moving 126,000 copies. This is the band's third self-titled album with a color-coded nickname. The band's 1994 eponymous debut was later called The Blue Album to differentiate it from the group's 2001 self-titled release (otherwise known as The Green Album). The group's latest eponymous disc, coproduced by Rick Rubin, leads at radio with the Modern Rock chart-topper and YouTube favorite "Pork and Beans."
Journey's new triple-disc Wal-Mart exclusive, Revelation, sold 105,000 copies at No. 5 for the pop band's biggest debut in a dozen years. The group, which got a boost when "Don't Stop Believing" became the key song of The Sopranos' series finale, found its latest singer by scouring Journey cover bands on YouTube.
Ashanti's The Declaration and Jewel's countrified Perfectly Clear rounded out the Top 10 debuts at Nos. 6 and 8, selling 86,000 and 48,000 copies, respectively.
Perfectly Clear also crowned the Top Country Albums chart, while Ashanti's promotional viral video—a fake news clip about a spree of copycat murders inspired by her music— topped the questionable taste chart.
Chris Brown's new deluxe reissue, Exclusive: The Forever Edition, surged to the No. 10 spot selling 36,000 copies. That's up 26,000 copies and 46 spots compared to the original album's previous week.
Radiohead's Best Of, which the band actually protested, opened at No. 26 as a single disc and at No. 81 with the double-disc edition.
Other notable debuts included Now That's What I Call Classic Rock at No. 20, Opeth's Watershed at 23, former Bush-man and Gwen Stefani squeeze Gavin Rossdale's Wanderlust at 32 and the double-disc Vans Warped Tour '08 at 34.
Poison singer and Rock of Love date master Bret Michael landed at 39 with his VH1 Classics release Rock My World. The album, which doubles as a soundtrack to his reality show, combines new songs with select tracks from his past two solo albums.
Further down, Aimee Mann's @#%&! Smilers entered at No. 80 with 8,000, three spots and a few hundred copies ahead of the music blog flavor of the month, Fleet Foxes.
Next week, look for Lil Wayne's long overdue Tha Carter III to top the charts by a landslide—per Billboard, the album sold more than 400,000 copies on its first day of release Tuesday.

Quite a heavyweight top 10, that will be broken up by Plies and Lil Wayne. I guess if they're gonna open strong, bump off Sex & The City and Chris Brown.

If I'm an artist I will be so sad if a movie soundtrack and a song compilation beat me on my first week of sales....

Thats Kanye though. We're talking about WEEZY.
Its obvious Lil Wayne is bigger than Kanye now & his album has alot of songs that can be really big singles, Lollipop isnt even one of the best songs on the cd. I can definately see him at like 2.5 million by christmas
