It's a big week of new albums with 8 debuts in the top 20. Janet Jackson opens with a disappointing #2 showing and selling just around 300,000 copies. This is her lowest opening sales week in almost 10 years. Weird Al Yankovic scores his first top 10 debut fueled by the success of the single "White & Nerdy." Scissor Sisters' debut inside the top 20 shows significant progress in popularity on this side of Atlantic after their first album failed to breach the top 100.

There is little change in the top 5, but Justin Timberlake becomes the first male solo artist to have 2 singles in the top 10 since 50 Cent about 18 months ago.
