Grammy-winning songstress India.Arie has her third album, "Testimony: Vol. 1, Life & Relationship", tops the Billboard 200 album chart at No. 1 selling 161,000 copies on the week ended Sunday July 2nd, such amount that brings the singer to beat another new release on the chart, Dashboard Confessional's "Dusk and Summer" who is on the runner-up position with 134,000 in sales.

Rihanna's "A Girl Like Me", sold another 62,000 copies, brings the singer to sit at the 5th spot on the chart, just one place ahead of Gnarls Barkley's "St. Elsewhere" which rises two to No. 6 with sales more than 60,000. In the meantime, Rascal Flatts' "Me and My Gang" secures the 7th spot with 59,000 copies, while Busta Rhymes' "The Big Bang" slips three to #8 with 58,000 copies sold.
