AceShowbiz - As it was predicted earlier, Ke$ha indeed replaces Susan Boyle on the top spot of Billboard Hot 200 this week. Her first studio album "Animal" opens with 152,000 copies, forcing Susan's "I Dreamed a Dream" to fall to No. 2 with 93,000 (down 32|percent|) after a six-week run at the top.

"THIS morning, thanks to all my fans, I TRULYYYY woke up feeling like P. Diddy with a #1 album!!!!!" Ke$ha told MTV. "Hollerrr!! I want to thank everyone who bought a copy of 'Animal', and I can't wait to see you on the road!!!! WOW!"

Beside sitting at No. 1 on Billboard Hot 200, Ke$ha also successfully extends her reign on Billboard Hot 100 with "Tik Tok" and claims the No. 7 position with "Blah Blah Blah". Moreover, she secures the top two slots of Digital Songs chart. "Blah Blah Blah" which features 3OH!3 debuts at No. 2, while "Tik Tok" stays at No. 1.
