Common nabs his first No. 1 album

Hip-hop veteran Common 's latest set, "Finding Forever," sold 155,000 copies during its first week in stores, enough to give him his first No. 1 album on The Billboard 200 chart.

Common beat out Korn 's "Untitled," which sold 123,000 copies during its initial week in stores and nabs the No. 2 spot, according to Billboard, which bases its chart on Nielsen SoundScan retail data.

After two weeks in the No. 1 spot, the hits compilation "NOW! That's What I Call Music Vol. 25" slips to No. 3, also on sales of about 123,000, Billboard reports.

The "Hairspray" soundtrack falls from No. 2 to No. 4 on sales of 82,000, while Miley Cyrus ' "Hannah Montana 2 (Soundtrack)/Meet Miley Cyrus" falls one notch to No. 5, also with about 82,000 sold.

Rounding out the Top 10 are Sean Kingston 's self-titled debut, the "Kidz Bop 12" compilation, T.I. 's "T.I. vs. T.I.P.," Fergie 's "The Dutchess" and Linkin Park 's "Minutes to Midnight."
