Nicki Lee Attacks No. 1 with "Bipolar"

[/size][/center]

Nicki Lee's second studio effort "Bipolar" debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, selling 245,000 copies according to Neilsen SoundScan. The album is best sales debut for a solo female artist in 2012 to date.

"Bipolar" is Lee's first No. 1 album on the chart. Her debut album "Good Girl Gone Bad" started at No. 6 with 71,000 sold on the chart dated March 12, 2011. The album's lead single "Massive Attack", featuring newcomer Lil Ray, holds at No. 5 the R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart while her Top 40 friendly "Pound the Alarm" impacts radio this week.

Slim Shady's former chart-topper "Living Legend" rises 3-2 with 98,000 (down 38%), Travis Webby's "Young Forever" dips 1-3 with 81,000 (down 63%) and Elle Hudson's EP "Wreckless Love" falls 2-4 with 75,000 (down 57%).

Kyle Carter's "Yellow" holds at No. 5 with 58,000 (down 19%), Young Trev's "Capital Punishment" holds at No. 6 with 51,000 (down 14%), and Jen Atkinson's "Brave & Crazy" falls 4-7 in its second frame selling 43,000 (down 55%).

Mr. Whiz's "Domination" moves 9-8 with 35,000 (down 18%), Nate Nash's "Words I Couldn't Say" dips 7-9 with 30,000 (down 33%) and Haley Allen's "Light After Dark" rounds out the top 10 with just under 30,000 (down 31%).

This week's only other release the self-titled debut by The X Factor finalist Christina Borr entered the chart at No. 36 to disappointing sales. The album sold 9,000 copies in its first frame after her debut single "Fashion of Her Love" failed to make any impact on the charts.
