R. Kelly is out of the closet and onto the charts. Despite a litany of legal troubles, most involving his purported penchant for videotaping sexual encounters, the R&B star is back at number one on the Billboard 200 pop album chart with TP.3 Reloaded – thanks in part to the controversial, voyeuristic new single and video, “Trapped in the Closet,” about a adulterous encounter gone wrong. TP.3 Reloaded, which also includes cameos by Snoop Dogg, the Game and Twista, sold 491,000 copies last week, according to Nielsen SoundScan figures issued Wednesday. The 38-year-old singer, who has had nearly 30 Top 40 hits in his career, nixed plans to shoot a video for the song “Sex in the Kitchen” in favor of creating the five-part mini-drama with “Trapped in the Closet.”
