The Roots & Lyfe Jennings Land In The Top 10, Lil Mama's ''Voice'' Barely Heard


R&B crooner Lyfe Jennings and hip-hop band The Roots debuted in the Top 10 on the Billboard 200 this week, while new discs by Lil Mama and Estelle failed to sell 20,000 copies.

Lyfe's third studio release, Lyfe Change hit the charts at No. 4 selling 80,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The newest disc's performance is a slip from the artist's 2006 sophomore set The Phoenix, which entered the charts at No. 2 and moved 136,000 units in its first week.

The Roots also did better in sales the last time around, though they hit a notable chart number with their recent release. The group's latest effort Rising Down steps rises up at No. 6 with 54,000 sales. The group's last release, 2006's Game Theory, launched at No. 9 with 61,000 copies sold.
