Off The Charts
Finding No. 1

Oh, Common. So adorable. So talented. So like LL Cool J in that he looks kind of funny when he takes off his hat. I'm sure he's off somewhere celebrating his first number 1 album, which sold 155,000 copies in its first week.

Sean Kingston's eponymous album also had a big debut, coming in at No. 6 on the Billboard 200.

More-to-love American Idol diva Mandisa's new album came in at No. 43 and Keith Murray's interestinly named Rap-Murr-Phobia sold just 13,000, but ended up near the top of the Hip Hop & R&B charts. More after the jump.
