Despite a nasty public feud that brought an abrupt end to their joint tour last weekend, R. Kelly and Jay-Z are chummy on top of the U.S. pop album charts.
Their second album together, "Unfinished Business" (Jive/Def Jam/IDJMG), debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with sales of 215,000 copies in the week ended Oct. 31, according to Nielsen SoundScan data issued Wednesday.
R. Kelly has filed a $75 million breach-of-contract suit against Jay-Z after being dismissed from their co-headlining Best of Both Worlds tour (Click R. Kelly/Jay-Z Beef Hits The Courts for that story). The trek took its name from the duo's first album, 2002's "The Best of Both Worlds," which opened at No. 2 with 223,000 copies; it has sold 875,000 to date.
"Unfinished Business" replaced Rod Stewart's "Stardust ...The Great American Songbook: Volume III" (J), which fell to No. 4 with 134,000 copies.
