"The E.N.D.," the latest release from hip-pop outfit Black Eyed Peas [ tickets ], moved just over 300,000 copies during its first week in stores, enough to earn the set a No. 1 debut on the US album chart.

With sales of about 304,000 copies, "The E.N.D." marks the Black Eyed Peas' first No. 1 entry on The Billboard 200, a feat accomplished thanks to first-week sales of about 304,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan figures as reported by Billboard. Fueling sales is the album's chart-topping single, "Boom Boom Pow," as well as follow-up cut "I Gotta Feeling," which makes its debut at No. 2 on Billboard's latest Hot 100 chart.

The big first week for "The E.N.D." pushes last week's No. 1 entry, Dave Matthews Band [ tickets ]'s "Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King," down to the No. 2 slot with sales of 128,000 copies, and Eminem [ tickets ]'s "Relapse" down one notch to No. 3 with sales of about 87,000 copies.

Meanwhile, the self-titled debut from rock supergroup Chickenfoot [ tickets ]--former Van Halen members Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony, Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith and guitar hero Joe Satriani--claims the No. 4 slot after posting a 53% gain over its abbreviated-first-week sales, notching sales of 79,000 copies during its first full week on shelves, according to Billboard.

Rounding out the rest of the Top 10 are Aventura [ tickets ]'s "Last" at No. 5 with sales of about 47,000 copies; Lady GaGa's "The Fame" at No. 6 with just shy of Aventura's total; the " Hannah Montana [ tickets ]: The Movie" soundtrack at No. 7 with 46,000 copies; Green Day [ tickets ]'s "21st Century Breakdown" at No. 8 with 41,000 copies; Mos Def [ tickets ]'s "Ecstatic," which debuts at No. 9 on sales of 39,000 copies; and Pleasure P [ tickets ]'s "The Introduction of Marcus Cooper," debuting at No. 10 on sales of just under 39,000 copies.
