RAPPER Jadakiss (Ruff Ryders and the Lox) skated to the pinnacle of Billboard’s Top 200 albums this week with “Kiss of Death,” which sold 246,000 copies its first week out, according to Nielsen/Soundscan.

With Usher’s “Confessions” firmly rooted in the No. 2 slot, the Beastie Boys saw their “To the 5 Boroughs” slip from No. 1 to No. 3.

R&B singer JoJo’s self-titled debut opened at No. 4, selling 95,000 copies.

In other premiere performances, the “Spider-Man 2” soundtrack spun to No. 7 its first week out and Wilco’s “A Ghost Is Born” came out the gate at No. 8. That’s the Chicago-based band’s first top 10 appearance.
