ASHANTI wants to “Rock Wit U.” The R&B diva’s sophomore release, “Chapter II,” sold 326,147 copies its first week out, according to SoundScan.

The album was the only new disc in the top 10, giving Ashanti two consecutive No. 1 albums in just over a year.

Beyoncé‘s debut CD, “Dangerously in Love,” dipped to No. 2, while her hit single, “Crazy in Love,” has become the official summer anthem.

Next are Luther Vandross‘ “Dance With My Father” at No. 3, Michelle Branch‘s “Hotel Paper” at No. 4 and 50 Cent at No. 5 with “Get Rich or Die Tryin’,” which has now sold nearly 5.4 million copies.
