21-year-old Atlanta rapper B.o.B.'s debut album The Adventures of Bobby Ray delivered on the promise of its chart-topping single, "Nothin' On You," selling 84,000 copies to capture the No. 1 spot on the album chart this week, reports Billboard.

And that's not all: Bobby Ray leads Billboard's Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums, Top Rap Albums, and Top Digital Albums charts as well. No doubt about it -- they got nothin' on you, Mr. B.o.B.

 

Lady Antebellum's Need You Now sits in the No. 2 spot, Bullet for My Valentine achieved a career-high No. 3 with Fever, and Justin Bieber's My World 2.0 fell from No. 3 to the No. 4 slot.

In addition to B.o.B.'s hit single, which features crooner Bruno Mars, Bobby Ray's success was aided by other high-profile collabos with T.I. (B.o.B. is signed to the rapper's Grand Hustle imprint), Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo, Janelle Monae, Eminem, and Paramore's Hayley Williams.

'And that's not all?' Aren't two of those three inherent in being the number 1 album overall?
