Young Jeezy fans inspire No. 1 debut

Young Jeezy 's sophomore set, "The Inspiration," sold 325,000 copies during its first week in stores, enough to earn the Atlanta rapper the top slot on the latest US album chart.

Clocking in at No. 2 is "American Idol" winner Taylor Hicks' self-titled debut, which moved 298,000 copies. Disney's "Hannah Montana" soundtrack sold 274,000 copies and moves up a notch to No. 3 on The Billboard 200.

The "NOW 23" hits compilation sold 235,000 copies, and moves up one rung to No. 4, according to Billboard, which bases its album chart on Nielsen SoundScan retail-sales reports. Josh Groban's "Awake" jumps six places to claim the No. 5 spot, with 220,000 sold.

Rounding out the Top 10 are Carrie Underwood's "Some Hearts," Chris Daughtry's "Daughtry," The Beatles' "Love," Mary J. Blige's "Reflections (A Retrospective)" and Il Divo's "Siempre."
