Toby, Fabolous, Fab Four Score on Charts

Toby Keith dogged all comers in what turned out to be a busy week on the pop charts.

The politically polarizing country star landed his third career number one debut with Big Dog Daddy. For the week ended appropriately enough on Father's Day, Big Dog Daddy moved more than 204,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan numbers.

Keith's first self-produced album and the first on his Show Dog label after fulfilling his joint-venture obligations with Universal, Big Dog Daddy didn't quite have the bark of his previous release, last year's White Trash with Money. Though White Trash failed to top the charts, it sold a more robust 330,000 first-week copies.

New York rapper Fabolous landed a career-best number two bow as From Nothin' to Somethin' moved nearly 159,000 copies. Three years since his last album checked in at number six, Fabolous' return is bolstered by cameos from Akon, Jay-Z, Young Jeezy, Timbaland, T-Pain, Ne-Yo, Rihanna, among others.

DJ Khaled, a member of Fat Joe's Terror Squad, sold 79,000 copies of his sophomore solo effort, We the Best, to debut in the eight spot. The album benefits from the hit single "Takin' Over," featuring T.I., Fat Joe, Lil Wayne, Baby, Akon and Rick Ross. Khaled made his solo debut last year with Listenn: The Album.

The Traveling Wilburys—the all-star collaboration featuring George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison and Jeff Lynne—followed at nine, selling 77,000 copies of their self-titled anthology. The multidisc reissue, which comes with a bonus DVD, currently tops the charts in the U.K.

It was a banner week for Beatles alumni. Aside from Harrison's Wilburys, Paul McCartney's Memory Almost Full held at three for the second straight week, while the two albums that debuted ahead of him last week—T-Pain's Epiphay and Rihanna's Good Girl Gone Bad—fell to numbers five and seven, respectively.

Meanwhile, the John Lennon charity cover album Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur, made with the blessing of Yoko Ono and featuring reinterpretations of his classic solo songs by U2, R.E.M., Green Day, Christina Aguilera, Snow Patrol and others, sold 49,000 copies at 15.

Even Ringo Starr got into the act with the announcement that he would finally be releasing digital versions of his hit early solo albums, along with a new career-spanning greatest-hits CD/DVD set, in August.

Elsewhere, Queens of the Stone Age, who debuted at number five with 2005's Lullabies to Paralyze, failed to crack the Top 10 with their latest, Era Vulgaris. The new album, named after the Latin term for "Common Era," sold nearly 52,000 copies to open at 14.

Enriqué Iglesias followed at 17, selling 44,000 copies of Insomniac. His first album since 2003's Seven, Iglesias' latest marks the longest break between his albums since the singer launched his career in '95 with his self-titled debut.

Before dying of an apparent heart attack last November, Gerald Levert recorded Something to Talk About with his father, Eddie Levert Sr. of O'Jays fame.This posthumous release sold 42,000 copies to debut at 19.

Other noteworthy newcomers included Paramore's Riot! at 20 and the DMX collection Definition of X: Pick of the Litter at 26.

Finally, a pair of female artists celebrated one-year chart anniversaries. Corinne Bailey Rae's eponymous disc and Nelly Furtado's Loose celebrated at numbers 53 and 54, respectively.

Thanks in part to Father's Day gift-giving, album purchases were up nearly 10 percent from the week previous, although still down nearly 8 percent relative to the same week in 2006.
