      *Janet Jackson is back in familiar territory with a number one album to her name for the first time in almost seven years.

       Titled "Feedback," the CD is Janet's sixth Billboard 200 chart topper and her first No. 1 since 2001's "All For You." "Feedback" is also the first project under her new contract with Island Def Jam.       

       According to Nielsen Soundscan, it sold 181,000 copies in the U.S. this week, which is less than her last two albums - "Damita Jo" in 2004 (381,000), and "20 Y.O. in 2006 (296,000). However, neither of those CDs was able to rise past No. 2 on the charts.

      "4th World War," part one of Erykah Badu's double album "New Amerykah," debuts at No. 2 this week, selling 124,000 copies. The second, as-yet-untitled portion of "New Amerykah" is due some time this summer via Universal Motown.

       Webbie's "Savage Life 2" (Asylum/Trill Entertainment) enters at No. 4 this week on the strength of his hit single "Independent," performed with Lil' Phat and Boosie, which is steadily rising on the Hot 100.       

       Elsewhere on the Billboard 200, Alicia Keys' "As I Am" (J) slips 2-5 despite an 8% sales increase, with 57,000, Amy Winehouse's Universal Republic set "Back to Black" slips 3-10, also with 37,000,  and D4L member Shawty Lo's solo debut, "Units in the City" (Asylum), debuts at No. 13 with 31,000.

Meanwhile, Janet recently hung out on Tyra's show. Let the zaniness begin!:
