Having just released their sophomore album last week, Danity Kane finds themselves on top of the charts. Their new album Welcome to the Doll House debuted at #1 with 236,000 units sold. This is said to be the biggest first week album sales by a female pop or R&B group since Destiny's Child in 2001. Are there really any other girl groups out there? The album is also said to be the second biggest-selling debut this far and places them in the history books as the first female group to debut at No.1 with a debut and sophomore album. Personally I don't see this as anything major because they weren't going up against any big name artist who released an album this same week nor will the sales continue as I'm sure we will see a significant decline once people actually start hearing the album.
