Slim Shady Debuts Atop Billboard 200

[/size][/center]

Slim Shady's highly anticipated second album "Living Legend" enters the Billboard 200 at No. 1, selling 697,000 copies in its first week according to Nielsen SoundScan.

The debut of "Living Legend" is the third best sales frame in history behind the debuts of Young Trev's "Capital Punishment" (1,052,000) and Mr. Whiz's "Domination" (795,000) in December 2011. Both of those albums though had the advantage of being released during the busy holiday shopping season. The rapper's previous effort "Mastermind" debuted at No. 1 in March 2011, selling 405,000 copies in its first frame.

Now taking a look at the holdovers this week: Young Trev dips 1-2 with 59,000 (up 1%), Kyle Carter's "Yellow" falls 2-3 with 50,000 (down 6%), and Mr. Whiz's "Domination" rises 7-4 with 41,000 (up 8%).

Haley Allen's "Light After Dark" descends 3-5 with 38,00 (down 17%), Radioactive's "Nothing But Dust" falls 4-6 with 35,000 (down 21%) and The Kellies land are up two spots at No. 7 (33,000; down 5%).

Sweet Grass Country's "Afterthoughts" advance 12-8 with 31,000 (up 9%), Nate Nash's "Words I Couldn't Say" rises 15-9 with 22,000 (down 6%) and The Kliq's self-titled effort explodes 19-10 with 21,000 (up 30%).
