The ladies of Bad Boy Entertainment, Danity Kane lead the pack of new releases this week - which includes Flo Rida, Gnarls Barkley and Rocko - scoring their second number 1 debut on the Billboard 200.

Danity Kane's sophomore album Welcome to the Dollhouse repeats history for the group whose self-titled debut in 2006 also opened at #1 with 234,000 units sold. Welcome to the Dollhouse has fared slightly better, moving approximately 236,000 copies of the new set according to the Nielsen SoundScan. That number also gives Danity the second highest sales week of 2008, behind Jack Johnson's Sleep Through the Static which opened with 375,000 in sales this February.

After setting a record for the highest selling digital download of all time with his single "Low," Flo Rida's Poe Boy/Atlantic debut project Mail on Sunday opened at #4 on the charts with 86,000 copies sold. Since its debut in November "Low" has sold 3.3 million downloads.

Gnarls Barkley's The Odd Couple started at #18 on the charts, after moving 31,000 units. The sophomore effort from the Grammy-award winning duo was released March 18th, after previous plans to drop on April 8th. The bulk of sales (85 %) for The Odd Couple occurred via online retailers.

"Umma Do Me" rapper Rocko hit the charts this week at #21 with 28,000 copies sold of his Rocky Roads/Universal debut Self-Made.

The ladies of Danity Kane are currently featured on SOHH's sister site Twelve 24 Girl doling out advice to young women as part of their "Damaged" Control video blog [Check it out here].
