• OutKast debuted at Number Two with their new record-cum-soundtrack Idlewild, selling 196,137 copies.

• Paris Hilton-loathing is practically a new religion for some people, but that didn't stop Paris from selling 76,858 copies and earning the Number Six spot on the charts this week. Dare we say it? That's hot.
