While many are still wondering what's become of his long going child pornography case, R. Kelly is still going strong on the music scene.

His latest album, 'Double Up,' debuted on 'Billboard's Top 200 Albums chart in the No. 1 position, selling 385,930 copies in its first week of release.

The double-disc set features the multiple Grammy Award winning crooner collaborating with hip-pop's biggest names, including Snoop Dogg, Nelly, Usher, Kid Rock, Chamillionaire, T.I., T-Pain, Ludacris, Keyshia Cole and Swizz Beatz, among others.

The set features the radio and club hits 'I'm A Flirt (Remix)' and 'Same Girl,' along with the poignant track 'Rise Up,' dedicated to the victims of the Virginia Tech massacre.

'Double Up' marks Kelly's ninth project for Jive Records, which released his 1993 solo debut '12 Play.'

According to a Sony BMG rep, Kelly has amassed career sales of more than 36 million albums worldwide. Sony BMG is the parent company of Jive.

As a songwriter and producer, Kelly has crafted hits for the likes of Celine Dion, Diddy, Jennifer Lopez, B2K, Mary J. Blige, Aaliyah, Young Jeezy, Changing Faces, Fat Joe and the Isley Brothers, among others.
