03/01/07 - Hip Hop Album Sales: Week Ending 2/25/2007

J-Banks · 03-01-2007, 12:36 PM

Akon may have stepped out of the to 10 last week, but the singer’s album Konvicted is back, coming in at #5 this week. The album moves 73k this week, bringing in a total of 1.6 million sold. Gnarls Barkley did not fare so well, as the Grammy buzz behind the group seems to have died down. The duo tumbles 29 spots into #73, with their album St. Elsewhere bringing in only 12k(1.2m million sold overall).
Rap’s veterans are stepping up this week, as we see small boosts from Young Jeezy, Eminem, Jay-Z and Snoop Dogg. Jeezy’s album Inspiration: Thug Motivation 102 jumps 13 spots into #24, selling 26k (884k overall). Eminem and his crew jump 8 spots to #52 as Eminem Presents: The Re-Up sells 16k this week (889k overall). Jay-Z moves up from #67 to #55, as Kingdom Come pushes 15k units, bringing Hov’s total to 1.3 million. Finally, Snoop’s Blue Carpet Treatment comes in at #68 (from #73) and sells 12k, bringing the west coast vet’s total to 794k.
The real story this week is indie group Gym Class Heroes. The group’s album As Cruel As School Children jumps an amazing 20 spots to #49, outselling Eminem, Jay-Z and Ludacris with 16k sold. Back to the top of the chart, Corinne Bailey Rae continues to make a name for herself, as the singer’s self-titled album remains in the top 10 at #8, pulling in another 56k, bringing her total to 1.1 million overall. Justin Timberlake’s Futuresex/LoveSounds is one spot above bringing in 62k, putting JT’s total at 2.8 million.
