Simon Cowell's Il Divo lands at No. 1 in Canada.

After spending seven consecutive weeks on top of the Canadian album charts, rapper 50 Cent was sent packing this week by an unlikely foursome of well-dressed, classically-trained men who belt out pop-opera tunes.

Il Divo, created by "American Idol" grump Simon Cowell, saw their self-titled debut shoot to No. 1 with sales of 28,800, according to Nielsen SoundScan Canada. It marks the first time that a classical act has entered the Canadian charts in the top spot.

The band are attempting to match their international success, where they topped the U.K. charts in 2004 and had the 10th biggest-selling album of the year.

Il Divo's success sent 50 Cent's "The Massacre" down to No. 3 with 11,200 in sales.

Sandwiched in between was Matchbox Twenty singer Rob Thomas's solo debut "Something To Be," which sold a healthy 12,300 copies.

Elsewhere in the Canadian Top 10, Michael Buble's "It's Time" and Green Day's "American Idiot" remained at No. 4 and No. 5, respectively, while Mariah Carey's "The Emancipation of Mimi" dropped from No. 2 to No. 6 after two weeks.

Gwen Stefani's "Love.Angel.Music.Baby" held steady at No. 7, and Jack Johnson's "In Between Dreams" sank two spots to No. 8.

Jann Arden's self-titled set, after entering at No. 3 last week, tumbled down six spots to No. 9, and Beck's "Guero" held onto the No. 10 position.

The only other notable debut was the compilation "Country Heat 2005," which premiered at No. 15.

In the U.S., Rob Thomas landed at No. 1 with 252,000 in sales, followed by Mariah Carey in second, rapper Mikes Jones's "Who is Mike Jones?" in third, Il Divo in fourth, and 50 Cent in fifth.
