Music Fans Have an Epiphany, Chrisette Michele Takes #1

Have music fans finally seen the light of day, choosing vocal talent over gimmicks? We think so as soul diva Chrisette Michele takes the top spot on this week's music charts - while Ciara's new sexed up act backfires.

According to Hits Daily Double, Chrisette's #1 debut was a result of "one of the tightest three-way races in memory," with a mere 2,000 pieces separating her from the two runners-up: Disney's Hannah Montana: The Movie soundtrack and Ciara’s Fantasy Ride respectively.

Ciara was this week's musical guest on Saturday Night Live where she put forth a yawn-worthy performance of "Love, Sex, and Magic" with Justin Timberlake accompanying her on keys. Guess we'll have to watch next week's charts to see if she gets a little boost in sales as a result, but I suspect her album will quietly go away as she can't seem to buy a hit these days. And believe me, she's tried by putting JT on track and in her video.

Rounding out the rest of the charts:
#4 - Rascal Flatts
#5 - Taylor Swift
#6 - Bob Dylan
#7 - Lady Gaga (gag me)
#8 - Rick Ross
#9 - Ben Harper & the Restless 7
#10 - Twilight Soundtrack
