Leona Lewis Makes Big Splash Atop Billboard 200!
B
ritish import Leona Lewis' "Spirit" bows atop The Billboard 200 this week, making her the first U.K. solo artist to start at No. 1. Her debut album moved 205,000 copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan. Lewis becomes the first Brit solo act to lead The Billboard 200 since Rod Stewart's "Still the Same... Great Rock Classics of Our Time" in the Oct. 28, 2006 issue. Last week's Billboard 200 chart-topper George Strait's "Troubadour" (MCA Nashville) falls to No. 2 with 59,000, a 65% sales slide.

She deserves to be #1! She's got a great attitude, she's really polite and relatable, and she has a killer voice! And she uses it to the best of her ability! Unlike some people, who pretty much talk with a little vocal movement now and then...
