Hip Hop Album Sales: The Week Ending 7/19/2009

Youngmoneyclick · 07-22-2009, 09:50 PM

The Black Eyed Peas still maintained a Top 5 spot with The E.N.D. for the third straight week. Maxwell's Black Summer's Night moved from #1 to #2 in its second week, still scanning over six figures . The effort is the Neo-Soul singer's first in over eight years. The release was only eclipsed by the latest from chart-favorite Daughtry.

Joe's latest, Signature, debuted one spot better than his last album, released less than a year ago. The BMG Records veteran, still with mentor Kedar Massenberg, sold just under 50,000 units on a project that includes a Marvin Gaye tribute.

Chicago veteran Twista impressed the charts with a Top 10 debut. Category F5 marks the fast-rapper's arrival at EMI Records, his return to a major label, after a public falling out with Atlantic two years ago. The effort's digital release on iTunes, includes a Kanye West-produced and featuring bonus song ["Alright" - , in addition to a large reunion with longtime production partner The Legendary Traxster.

Eminem's Relapse slipped out of Top 10 this week. The Aftermath effort is still promised to be the first, as 50 Cent's Before I Self Destruct and Dr. Dre's Detox are on deck respectively.
