R&B crooner Jaheim’s third release, Ghetto Classics, took the top spot this week, selling 152,000 copies according to Nielsen SoundScan. While his last two albums hit the Top Ten, this marks the first Number One for the New Jersey singer, whose grandfather Victor Hoagland sang with the Drifters. Meanwhile, last week’s chart-topper, Sing-A-Longs and Lullabies, Jack Johnson’s soundtrack for the children’s movie Curious George, slipped to second place, with 117,000 copies sold. The CD features a combination of kids’ songs and Johnson’s signature, laidback tunes, with a guest appearance from G. Love and a cover of the White Stripes’ “We’re Going to Be Friends.”
