Despite the rough economic times, Young Jeezy 's "The Recession" sold 260,000 copies during its first week in stores, enough to give the Atlanta rapper his second No. 1 album.
New Kids on the Block 's reunion album, "The Block," makes its initial splash at No. 2 on The Billboard 200 chart, moving 95,000 copies. Billboard bases its flagship US album chart on Nielsen SoundScan retail reports.
The Game 's "LAX" falls one notch to No. 3 during its second week out, with 89,000 copies sold, according to Billboard, while Kid Rock 's "Rock N Roll Jesus" slips one rung to No. 4 on sale of 79,000.
Last week's No. 1 album, Slipknot 's "All Hope Is Gone," falls to No. 5 on sales of 75,000.
Rounding out the Top 10 are the Jonas Brothers ' "A Little Bit Longer" at No. 6, the "Mamma Mia" soundtrack at No. 7, Underoath 's "Lost in the Sound of Separation" at No. 8, Chris Tomlin's "Hello Love" at No. 9 and Lil Wayne 's "Tha Carter III" at No. 10.
