Despite revelations that he probably isn't the serious drug kingpin he claims he is, and a lengthy bout with 50 Cent, Rick Ross' Deeper Than Rap moved 158,000 copies in its first week, easily claiming the top spot on Billboard's Top 200. Ross' two previous albums, Trilla and Port of Miami also debuted at number one.

Coming in at number two is Miley Cyrus' Hannah Montana Soundtrack, which moved 102,000 copies. Depeche Mode's Sounds of the Universe came in at number 3 with 80,000 sold. [Billboard]
