Comments
In a major leap from #8 to #1, Fergie follows closely in the footsteps of Justin Timberlake with her third #1 hit from the album The Dutchess. Christina Aguilera seems to be doing much better on the chart with "Candyman" than the slow ballad "Hurt." At this rate, it looks like Pink could still score a top 10 hit from the album I'm Not Dead as "U + Ur Hand" nears the top 20 almost a year after the album was first released.

Comments
Is it a comment about the relative weakness in the music industry when a long-dead rapper's greatest hits album debuts at #1 while selling less than 100,000 copies? The flip side is that with 5 of the top 10 albums being new releases, it looks like there is still an appetite for new music coming out.

In a close battle, Justin Timberlake takes over the top spot at pop radio with the 3rd single from FutureSex / LoveSounds.
