Ashlee Simpson's sophomore album "I Am Me" has fought off Rod Stewart, Martina McBride and Stevie Wonder, to reach the top of the album charts in the United States, selling 220,000 copies in its first week of release.
Simpson's first album "Autobiography" was also a chart topper, however the singer was criticised over the past year for a now-infamous lip-synching, jig-dancing incident on Saturday Night Live.
First week sales of "I Am Me" are well below the first week sales of "Autobiography", which reached 398,000 units.
