Hannah Montana 2--the double-album T.I. Vs. T.I.P. of the Disney Channel set--came out of last week's Billboard 200 battle on top, with the two-persona-album (one half has songs sung by Hannah, the other by Hannah portrayer Miley Cyrus) selling 326,000 units and beating Kelly Clarkson's My December for the chart crown. (Perhaps Clarkson can now commisserate with My Chemical Romance, who suffered a similar fate last fall.)


Biggest Debuts: Clarkson debuted at No. 2; My December sold 291,000 copies, which actually bested her first-week total for Breakaway (250,000 units) but which will still be spun as a flop, probably. At No. 7 was Ryan Adams, whose Easy Tiger sold 61,000 copies; farther down, the Beastie Boys' all-instrumental The Mix-Up came in at No. 15 and sold 44,000 copies.
Charting The Decline: Album sales were down a tick from last week--0.84%, or 70,000 units--but were down 8% from a year ago this week, when units shifted totaled 9.59 million units and India.Arie's Testimony: Vol. 1, Life & Relationship sold 161,000 copies.
Nickelback Award For Inexplicable Durability: Fergie continued her eyebrow-shaped ascent on the charts, moving from No. 15 to No. 12 with The Dutchess. She's even outselling Rihanna! Won't someone do something?
