Jun 29 | by _YBF

Jill Scott has a lot to celebrate this week as she gave a very enjoyabe performance at the 2011 BET Awards, she also landed her first Billboard Top 200 album.

Find out how many copies she sold inside and get the deets on Rihanna's upcoming charity concert in Alabama.

Jill Scott's debuted at #1 on The Billboard Top 200 albums chart this week, making it her first Top 200 album on the chart. "The Light of the Sun" sold 135,000 in the first week and hopefully Jilly From Philly will be able to keep the momentum going.

Congrats Jill! Sidebar, Jill is heading down to New Orleans this week to headline the Essence Music Fest July 1-3rd.

And in other music news.....

Last night, Rihanna wowed a large crowd at the Staples Center in Los Angeles and she announced a new charity event. Next month RiRi is heading to the deep south for a special performance in Birmingham, AL.

The "What's My Name" singer will play a full show and donate the proceeds to Project Team Up, Tuscaloosa Disaster Relief Fund, and Mayor’s Disaster Relief Fund to help with tornado damage.

Love it when celebs give back.

I absolutely love Jill Scott

I absolutely love Jill Scott track #15 ROLLING HILLS is soooo hot! Good job Rihanna! But she does alot to give back this isn't her first charitable gig... Ledisi is a great cd as welll But I have to say this and I hope I am not attacked verbally....I purchased BEYONCE's cd, and I really like it. She really gets a bad wrap, but her cd is hot...i am a fan of all music! Get it girls....!

YBF should promote Ledisi's

YBF should promote Ledisi's new album. I like Ledisi's new album better than Jill's and this is coming from a huge Jill Scott fan. Something is missing with this album , sorry.

I agree. And I am a big Jill

I agree. And I am a big Jill fan but was just telling a friend of mine that i would rather listen to the new Ledisi than Jill's new one. Something is missing one from this cd. On the flipside, the Ledisi cd is fire. She is truly reppin Oakland. And if you havent seen her in concert, she is really the truth and gives a great show!

Was listening to and digging

Was listening to and digging Jill's album until I bought that Kelly Price. Can't stop listening to her CD. It's SO good. Jill's album was good but not as cohesive as some of her earlier efforts. I'm guessing that comes with the label change.

Wow, if her thighs weren't

Wow, if her thighs weren't always opened would anyone care what she was "signing"? So Rihanna's latest gimmick to get attention is to "head a charity fund raiser"? *_* So let me get this right, Rihanna skipped out on performing at 2 CANCER CHARITIES and now she wsnt to help?? O-0! Whatever Rihanna, you are trying anything aren't you boo boo now that Beyonce is back on the scene! '4' I s In Stores NOW!

i'm so tired of stans in general. they are the most schizophrenic bloggers. anything people say they try to twist it just to argue. Rihanna's strumming with her coooch hanging out point period blank. just because somebody mentions it doesn't mean you have to attack the person. damn people

@ meerks, if you are tired

@ meerks, if you are tired of rihannas outfit then stop watching rihanna and find the star whos outfit you loves the best to watch. go and look at amber and others showing their goodies on other site, this is a sassy and classy site no doubt to much for you to handle.
