Comments
In a relatively rare occurrence, Madonna's Confessions on a Dance Floor opens at #1 on the US album chart the same week as it debuts on top of the UK album chart. American Idol season #4 winner Carrie Underwood just misses the top with her first album Some Hearts. It is appealing to both pop and country audiences. Mariah Carey takes a leap back into the top 5 with the release of the expanded platinum edition of The Emancipation of Mimi.

Comments
There's not much movement at the top of this week's radio chart, but a bit further down it's a good week for rap records as Young Jeezy and Akon bound into the top 10 with "Soul Survivor" and Eminem climbs to #21 in only his second week on the chart with "When I'm Gone."
