Eminem hung on to the #1 spot on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop albums chart this week, selling another 793,713 copies of his The Marshall Mathers LP.

That brings the beleaguered rapper a bit of good news in a week dominated by stories of his arrest for allegedly pistol-whipping a man after he kissed the hip-hop star's wife.

Eminem, who was arraigned on three felony weapons charges earlier this week, has sold more than 2.5 million copies of his second album, the follow-up to his multiplatinum 1999 major-label debut, The Slim Shady LP. (The album also topped the Billboard 200 albums chart for the second consecutive week.)

Cash Money rappers Big Tymers and their I Got That Work remained at #2 on the albums chart, while supergroup Lucy Pearl's self-titled debut album fell to #5 in its second week on the chart.

The rest of the top 10 are all familiar faces — Joe's My Name Is Joe (#3), 504 Boyz's Goodfellas (#4), Avant's My Thoughts (#6), Dr. Dre's Dr. Dre — 2001 (#7), Toni Braxton's The Heat (#8, Jagged Edge's J.E. Heartbreak (#9), and Donell Jones' Where I Wanna Be (#10).

The "Big Momma's House" soundtrack, which features tracks by Da Brat, Jagged Edge and Blaque, was the week's highest-charting debut, coming in at #16 and selling 31,000 copies, according to SoundScan reports. Smooth jazz/R&B sax player Boney James entered the chart at #32 with Shake It Up, and F.A.T.E.'s For All That's Endured debuted at #45.

On the R&B/Hip-Hop singles chart, Carl Thomas' "I Wish" (RealAudio excerpt) hung on to the #1 spot for the third week in a row, followed by Avant's "Separated," which stayed at #2 for the second straight week.

Jagged Edge's "Let's Get Married" jumped from #6 to #3. Lucy Pearl's "Dance Tonight" (RealAudio excerpt) and Next's "Wifey" moved from #17 to #13.

Janet Jackson's "Doesn't Really Matter," from the forthcoming "The Nutty Professor II: The Klumps" soundtrack, rose 10 spots, to #26, and Big L's "Flamboyant" entered the chart at #40.

Smooth R&B singer Maxwell's version of Kate Bush's "Women's Work" entered the chart at #74, and the late rapper Big Punisher's "100%," which features Tony Sunshine, debuted at #79.
