It's a huge debut this week for Diddy's new group Danity Kane. "Show Stopper" debuts clear up at #14. The pop-rock group Evanescence has a great week as well. "Call Me When You're Sober," their new single, climbs 73 notches to #21. It looks like it may join the band's "Bring Me to Life" and "My Immortal" as top 10 smashes. Meanwhile, at the top, Fergie holds on for a second week with her solo debut "London Bridge" while the Pussycat Dolls are breathing down her neck at #2.
