Yb187 · 03-06-2008, 05:55 PM

For the first time in quite a while, a hip-hop albums has cracked Billboard's top 5. The honor goes to Webbie, who's "Vol. 2-Savage Life" came in at #4 this week overall, selling 72,497 copies.

Meanwhile Janet Jackson edged Erykah Badu for the #1 spot with her new album "Discipline", moving 181,452. Badu's "New Amerykah" settled for #2, at 123,884 units.

Despite the success of his smash single "Dey Know", Shawty Lo's debut "Units In The City" had to settle for a dissapointing #13 overall, selling just 31,017 units.

Last weeks #1 hip-hop album, Jim Jones's "Harlem's American Gangster" plummeted from #19 overall to #63, moving 11,880, bringing the Capo to 37,008 total.

On the non-Koch indy tip, Pete Rock's "NY's Finest" sneaked into the Top 200 at #193, selling 3,900 units, while Joe Budden's "Mood Muzik 3" was on the outside looking in, moving 1159 copies.

Damn music fucked up right now. That's all it take to make the top 5 40 and some change? What happened to the days when you put out a solid album and sold 300k. It won't be another DMX. Nigga never had a top 40 record but always debuted at #1 until his last cd and that's because Sony pushed two records the week they should have been promoting his.
