Totally Hits 2, Donell Jones, Dirty Vegas, & Avril Lavigne Debut In Top 10

NEW YORK (Top40 Charts) - While Eminem holds on tight to the No. 1 spot on The US Albums for the third week in a row, several newcomers make their way into the top 10.

The pop compilation Totally Hits 2 takes the highest debut spot for the week at No. 2, R&B singer Donell Jones comes in at No. 3 with his third album Life Goes On, Dirty Vegas (known for the hit song, "Days Go By," in the Mitsubishi commercial) bow at No. 7 with its self-titled debut, and the latest entry to the female pop singer-songwriter-guitarist craze, 17-year-old Avril Lavigne, shows up at No. 8 with Let Go.

The four top 10 debuts will push an equal number of LPs that formerly kept company in that upper echelon back a bracket into the #11-20 range. Cam'ron's Come Home With Me will fall from #4 to #11. Celine Dion's A New Day Has Come will dive eight spots to #13, Marc Anthony's Mended takes an identical plunge to #14, and Musiq's Juslisen will lose half its previous chart status to slip into the #15 spot.

Other notable chart debuts include:
DJ Quik's Under Tha Influence #27, DJ Shadow's Private Press #44, Scooby Doo soundtrack #58, the Outkast-led "Scooby-Doo" soundtrack at #58, Meshell Ndegeocello's Cookie: The Anthropological Mixtape at #67, Los Lobos' Good Morning Aztlan at #82, Doves' Last Broadcast at #83, the "Bad Company" soundtrack at #98, the musical companion to "Undercover Brother," featuring a funky Snoop Dogg, at # 125, twee-pop champions Belle and Sebastian's soundtrack to "Storytelling" at #150, Danzig's 777: I Luciferi at #158 and Audiovent's Dirty Sexy Knights in Paris at #200.
