SHOCKER ON THE CHARTS: TIMBERLAND # 4 B-DAY RE-RELEASE #5

He's leant a hand to a number of other artists' chart-topping efforts recently (namely, Justin Timberlake and Nelly Furtado), but this week Timbaland earns chart ink for his own album, "Timbaland Presents Shock Value" at No. 5. Moving 138,000 copies, "Shock Value" (Mosley Music Group/Interscope) becomes the best charting and selling set of his solo career. His previous best was 2001's collaboration with Magoo, "Indecent Proposal," which debuted with 79,000 at No. 29.

Beyonce's "B'Day" pole-vaults 69-6 thanks to the release of a new double-disc version of the album with six new songs. That translates to a 903% gain to 126,000 units.

Paul Wall's "Get Money, Stay True" (Swishahouse/Asylum/Atlantic) debuts at No. 8 with 92,000 copies. His last set, 2005's "The Peoples Champ" lived up top its title, crashing in at No. 1 with 176,000.

Akon's "Konvicted" (SRC/Universal) slips 5-9 with 75,000 copies, a sales increase of 12%. (CAN'T BELIEVE HE IS SELLING LIKE THIS! BTW NICE PICTURE OF JOJO!)
