Posted September 8, 200618 yr JESSICA SIMPSON's fifth album A Public Affair made its debut at the top of the Billboard chart at #5 on Wednesday with sales over 100K, marking the singer's highest chart debut and biggest opening week sales of her music career. (Her previous album In This Skin debuted at #10 with 64K in sales) Remarkably, this musical career high was achieved in spite of a vocal chord injury which stunted many of her singing appearances this week. Current plans to sing on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on September 7th and the Ellen DeGeneres show on September 11th are still intact. Jessica 's newest single "I Belong to Me" - which was originally a special track for retailer Wal-Mart - was voted a favorite by her fans and will now appear on all versions of A Public Affair. Jessica will shoot the video for this new single in Los Angeles this month. Meanwhile, her first single, "A Public Affair" is #5 with a bullet on the Billboard Club/Dance chart. Upon its release, the video fast became an MTV TRL chart topper and #1 on the Yahoo! video chart. The clip was directed by Brett Ratner and features guest stars Eva Longoria, Christina Applegate, Christina Milian, Andy Dick and Ryan Seacrest.

September 8, 200618 yr How can you be at the top of the Billboard charts at #5? If you are at the top of the charts you are #1. Still well done to the legend that is Bob Dylan on achieving the #1 album this week.

September 9, 200618 yr She MUST release B.O.Y. :wub: it's so fab! Great news for her :cheer: I really love the new album
September 9, 200618 yr Might check it out if it's actually done so well in America :o It's not a change in direction to RNB/Hip-Hop stuff by chance is it? :(
September 9, 200618 yr This album will tank in the long term, she hasn't got the momentum to keep her going that the fame and exposure 'Newlyweds' provided, this will do a Christina Milian imo -_-
September 9, 200618 yr Well done to her, but no way should she release the you spin me :puke2: cant beat the origional of that :D a public affair is great though
September 9, 200618 yr Author It will prob not sell much and drop quite a bit but then when the next single is out it will go back top 10 ect
September 9, 200618 yr No way will this return to the top 10 :lol: Only the strongest albums do that, this debuted at #5, only a truely massive hit on the Hot 100 would allow that :lol:
September 9, 200618 yr Author This is taken from the middle bit of jessica's "In This Skin" chart run .. *2*-3-4-9-12- 4-7-7-12-
September 9, 200618 yr Yes but she had mass-publicity from 'Newlyweds' then ;) She doesn't have the same public profile now.
September 10, 200618 yr Does anyone know why i belong to me isnt on my public affair album!? It is on the special edition version, if I'm not mistaken .. and it will be on the UK version as well, I believe. It's just not on the American version. I believe she wants people to download it (the song) so she can go higher on Billboard
