Lupe Fiasco Debuts at No. 1 on Hot 200, Kicking Adele Out!

After not releasing a new album for more than three years, Lupe Fiasco has now made a comeback with a grand entry on Billboard Hot 200. The rapper debuts at the first position on the U.S. albums chart, dethroning last week's champ Adele.

Lupe rules the chart with his third studio album "Lasers" which has sold 204,000 copies in its opening week. It becomes his highest-charting album and best sales week so far. His previous efforts "Food and Liquor" and "The Cool" peaked at No. 8 and No. 15 in 2006 and 2007 respectively.

Adele is forced to leave the No. 1 place and sit at the runner-up spot as her sophomore set "21" adds another 133,000. The U.K. Grammy-winning singer previously reigned the chart for two weeks in a row with 352,000 copies in its first week and 168,000 copies in its second week.
