Buzznet's community had plenty to say about Panic at the Disco's Pretty. Odd. when it dropped last week, and on Wednesday came news that the album ascended all the way up the Billboard 200 to ... #2.

Gather 'round, it's time once again for tales from the Billboard 200. Last one was a great one for hip hop, with three top 10 debuts. Rick Ross is hustling his way to the top of next week's chart with his 'Trilla' release, which sold almost 200,000 copies, according to Soundscan.

Rejoice! Country bumpkin Alan Jackson has topped the Billboard 200 with the release of his Good Time album. Most importantly, he has banished Janet Jackson to the dark depths of third place.
