The self-titled debut from Day26 , a group that emerged from the MTV series "Making the Band," sold 190,000 copies during its first week in stores, enough to debut at No. 1 on the US album chart.
Day26 replaces at No. 1 another "Making the Band" act, Danity Kane , which falls to the No. 4 slot on The Billboard 200; DK's "Welcome to the Dollhouse" sold 89,000 copies. Billboard's flagship album chart is based on Nielsen SoundScan retail reports.
