Hip-hop/R&B Charts - Top Singles and Albums For The Week Of Oct. 27, 2007

Keyshia Cole cops the No. 1 spot on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart this week with Just Like You. The soulful heir to the Mary J. Blige throne recently announced plans to tour the U.S. with R. Kelly and is riding a wave of smash singles including "Let It Go" featuring Missy Elliot & Lil' Kim. The album, which jumps 3-1, is in its 3rd week on the chart.

For the first time in a long time a new album doesn't bow at the No. 1 spot. This week's top debut, Brave from Jennifer Lopez, comes in at No. 7 and counts as this week's hotshot debut. The set features new, yet retro sounding, dance music from the entertainer.

Cracking the Top 10 is the soundtrack from this week's No. 1 movie in the U.S., Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married? The set rises 13-10 and features artists such as Beyonce, Musiq Soulchild, Cole, Keith Sweat, Anita Baker and more.

Also making notable gains is this week's greatest gainer Chrisette Michele's I Am which leaps 22-14 in its 17th week on the chart. Ky-Mani Marley's Radio ranks as the official pace setter with a whopping leap from 93 to 48.

New albums this week include The Isley Brothers The Definitive Collection at No. 29, and 8Ball & Devius' The Vet & The Rookie at No. 31.

This week's top song comes from none other than Alicia Keys. "No One" has been steadily climbing the chart ever since it appeared 8 weeks ago, and steps up an easy 2-1 to claim the throne on the Hot R&B/Hip-hop Songs list. The anthemic track also gets the title of fastest growing track at radio as it rises 8-4 on the Hot 100.

Also enjoying great gains is Timbaland's "Apologize" featuring OneRepublic which steps up one notch to No. 3 and is this week's top digital gainer.

This week's hot shot song debut comes from rap vet Jay-Z. "Roc Boys (And the Winners Is)" comes in at No. 52 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs list, while his previous song, "Blue Magic," debuted at No. 35 several weeks ago.

New tracks this week also include Fergie's "Clumsy" at No. 91.
