Childish Gambino Earns First Top 10 with 'Because the Internet'

We already know Beyoncé's new surprise album is No. 1, but she's not alone in this week's top debuts.

As expected, R. Kelly's Black Panties has earned the R&B singer his 15th top 10, as it debuts this week at No. 4 with 133,000 copies sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Meanwhile, Childish Gambino has earned his first top 10 album, as Because the Internet debuts at No. 7 with 96,000 copies. That is a huge increase over his 2011 debut set, Camp, which started at No. 11 with 52,000.

The strong debut is great for Gambino (aka Donald Glover), who has been a target for many critics lately. His album was recently named one of Variance's Top 25 of 2013.

Gambino also gives his label, Glassnote Records, its fourth top 10, following Mumford & Sons' Sigh No More (No. 2), Babel (No. 2) and Phoenix's Bankrupt!.
