Two popular urban acts occupy the top two spots on The Billboard 200 this week, with the Game's Doctor's Advocate coming in at No. 1. The Geffen effort moved 358,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan, a significant drop off from the 587,000-unit first week of his 2005 debut, The Documentary. However, the new album's total was more than enough to debut at No. 1 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.

The Game's Doctor's Advocate.

Akon's SRC/Up Front/Konvict set Konvicted sold 284,000 to bow at No. 2 on The Billboard 200 and Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. The artist's 2004 debut, Trouble, had a much more modest opening with 24,000. Konvicted has benefited from two huge singles, "I Wanna Love You" (featuring Snoop Dogg) and "Smack That" (featuring Eminem), both of which have peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 thus far.

The Sony BMG Strategic Marketing Group/EMI/Universal/Zomba hits compilation NOW 23 falls to No. 3 after its No. 1 start last week, selling 194,000, a slide of 42 percent. Josh Groban's Awake (143/Reprise) follows suit, descending 2-4 with 150,000 and -44 percent sales hit.

The soundtrack to Disney's Hannah Montana keeps the No. 5 spot warm for a second week with 114,000, a 13 percent dip. Keith Urban's Capitol Nashville release Love, Pain & the Whole Crazy Thing drops 3-6 with 103,000 (-62 percent), while Sugarland's Enjoy the Ride (Mercury) slips 4-7 with 81,000 (-61 percent).

Rock duo Tenacious D cruises to a No. 8 debut with the Epic soundtrack to its film The Pick of Destiny. The album sold 81,000 copies, nearly double the 42,000 the group's self-titled debut moved in its first week in 2001. That album has since shifted 987,000 copies.

Beyonce's Columbia set B'Day reenters the top tier, climbing 16-9 with 68,000, a 17 percent sales increase.

When Your Heart Stops Beating by (+44), which comprises two former Blink 182 members, enters at No. 10. The Interscope release moved 66,000 units and also enters at No. 2 on the Top Rock Albums chart, behind The Pick of Destiny.

Damien Rice's 9 (Vector/Warner Bros.) cracks the big chart at No. 22 with 45,000, his best charting and sales week. The Irish singer/songwriter's 2003 album, O, only managed a No. 114 peak. Other big debuts this week include Kenny G's I'm in the Mood for Love (No. 37; 32,000) and Staind's Singles 1996-2006 (No. 41; 27,000).

Overall CD sales are up 4.5 percent from last week's count and down 4.7 percent compared to the same week a year ago at 12.49 million units. Sales for 2006 are down 5 percent compared to 2005 at 468.7 million units.
