(antiMusic) It looks like a lot of moms and dads are going to find an extra charge on their next credit card statements as two Disney Channel related albums topped the album sales charts this week. "High School Musical 2" hit No. 1 and "Hannah Montana 2" came in at a distant No 2.

"High School Musical 2" the soundtrack to the Disney Channel TV movie enjoyed the second biggest debut week this year with sales of 615,000 copies. Linkin Park hold's the record with 623,000 first week sales of their latest, "Minutes to Midnight".

The Disney Channel exposure also helped sales of "Hannah Montana 2" which climbed two spots to No 2 with sales of 83,000. A new episode of the program was aired immediately after "High School Musical 2" on the children's cable network.

Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds' new effort "Live at Radio City" sold 70,000 copies to land the No. 3 spot. And last week's No 1 UGK's "Underground Kingz" fell to No. 6 after selling 60,000 last week.
