Fabolous Debuts at # 1!

The rapper Fabolous makes his "Way" to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for the first time in his career, but Michael Jackson's "Number Ones" collection still reigns on the Top Comprehensive Albums chart and becomes the year's second-best selling album.

Jackson's 2003 hits set sold 114,000 copies this week, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Its total for the year now adds up to 1,370,000 copies, moving it past the "Hannah Montana: The Movie" soundtrack (1,338,000) and Eminem's "Relapse" (1,319,000). Only Taylor Swift's "Fearless" (with 1,499,000) stands in Jackson's way as 2009's top seller.

The King of Pop has now held the best-selling album in the U.S. for five out of the past six weeks. "Number Ones" only stepped aside when Daughtry's "Leave This Town" bowed with 269,000 two weeks ago.

Back on the Billboard 200, Fabolous' "Loso's Way" starts at No. 1 with 99,000 copies sold. It's the first chart-topper for the New York rapper, who notched four previous top 10 sets on the Billboard 200 and charted as high as No. 2 when 2007's "From Nothin' to Somethin' " shifted 159,000 in its first week.

"Good Hair" Movie Trailer

This seems like a good one. Usually I'm not interested in seeing documentaries at the show but i may have to see this one. It is a shame of what Americans, especially black Americans consider to be "Good Hair" The world is a shallow place...
