Madonna's "Hard Candy" cd easily crushes the competition this week, selling over 300,000 copies.
As a consequence, Mariah Carey's "E=MC2" (Island Def Jam) is dethroned to No. 2 after two weeks on top; the album moved 95,000 units, a 48% sales drop-off. Leona Lewis' "Spirit" (Syco/J) slips 2-3 with 84,000 (-12%).
Lyfe Jennings' Columbia album "Lyfe Change" starts with 80,000 at No. 4. His last set trumps this start though, as "The Phoenix" began at No. 2 with 136,000 in 2006.
The Roots' ninth album, Def Jam set "Rising Down," enters at No. 6 off of a 54,000 start. The hip-hop act's last release, 2006's "Game Theory," started at No. 9 with 61,000.
Lil Mama's "VYP: Voice of the Young People (Jive, No. 25, 19,000).
Estelle's "Shine" (Atlantic, No. 40 13,500).
Album sales this week are up 10% from last week's sum with 7.55 million units and down 10.4% from the same week last year.

She sold 281,000 copies. Not over 300,000... Check your source.
A complete and total flop by Madonna's standards. Reuters called Confessions a flop when it debuted with 300,000 copies... What do you think they will consider this?
It doesn't matter anyway. She'll make all her money from touring this record.
