R. Kelly fends off Slim Thug

Three new albums debuted in the Top 10 on Wednesday, but none generated enough sales to push R. Kelly’s “TP.3 Reloaded” out of the top spot, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Kelly’s album sold 139,000 copies last week, the lowest total of any No. 1 album since Green Day’s “American Idiot” sold 100,000 copies in January. Kelly’s album entered the charts last week at No. 1 after selling 491,000 copies in its first week.

The newcomers in the Top 10 are rapper Slim Thug (No. 2 with sales of 129,000 copies), rapper Bow Wow (No. 3, sales of 119,000) and rockers All-American Rejects (No. 6, sales of 90,000).

Carole King’s “Living Room” finished No. 17 with first-week sales of 44,000.

With all the changes in the Top 10, only two albums have been there for six weeks or more: Coldplay’s “X&Y;,” which has sold 1.6 million copies in six weeks, and Mariah Carey’s “The Emancipation of Mimi,” which has sold 2.5 million in 14 weeks.
