04/02/08 - Hip Hop Album Sales: Week Ending

YoungGeeza · 04-02-2008, 04:19 PM

It looks like Diddy is at it again! Making the Band male-group Day 26 rules the charts with their self-titled debut album selling 189k this week. The ladies of Diddy's Danity Kane, though #1 last week, have dropped to #4 selling 88k. They were beat out by debuts from Panic at the Disco and Counting Crows, respectively. Rick Ross' Trilla comes in at #6 with 51k, while Flo Rida slips in at #9 (33k sold) to round out the Hip Hop/ R&B artists in the top 10 for the first week of April.

Snoop Dogg's Ego Trippin', which has been met by luke-warm reviews, lands the #13 spot with 28k units this week. In her 55th week on the chart, troubled songstress Amy Winehouse still manages a #21 spot on the charts, her revival coming after multiple Grammy wins for 2007. Back to Black sold just under 21k this week and is nearing double platinum with over 1.8M sold to date.

Rocko's Self Made album takes a large drop in its 2nd week from #21 to #62 (9.8k sold this week), while Fat Joe and Sheek Louch stumbled downwards as well.

Will Diddy's takeover continue through the month? Or will new music from The Roots' highly anticipated album reign supreme? Can the offbeat sounds of cross-over group Gnarls Barkley find more momentum to climb the charts some more? Stay tuned as DX brings the play-by-play.

We already got Justin Timberlake why we want a bootleg version. The kid can't sing, has no swagger, and Diddy outshined him on his own record which is saying something because Diddy can't rap. Donnie going to do Flo-rida numbers if he drops. I respect Diddy but his ear for talnet been off the last few years. Cheri Dennis can write and Mario Winans can too but for every hot album like Danity Kane and Day 26 he drops three bullshit records from shitty artists like Joc, Zoe, and Press Play. The old bad boy was crack but this new generation only got a few good acts that aren't being given the proper push.

Lupe @ 430,000! He's going gold and raised his sales from Food & Liqour! That's nice.. For a change a rapper does better then his last project! THE COOL new era classic.

THAT IS REAL TALK MAN. I THINK THAT THE DONNIE DUD IS GONNA SELL BECAUSE LITTLE GIRLS LOVE THAT GUY. THE PEOPLE THAT MAINLY BUY ALBUMS ARE FEMALES. I THINK HE WILL OUTDO BOTH DAY 26 AND DANITY KANE. BUT YOU ARE 100 PERCENT RIGHT ABOUT HIM. NO SWAG AND HE IS A FAKE J.T. AND DIDDY JUICED HIS MIND UP BECAUSE THAT SINGLE IS NOT THAT HOT.

Damn Is Rick Ross Album That Hott? 300 Thou Thats Mad Good. He Probley Will Not Go Platinum But He Is Doing Good Sales.

Central Intalect V.2 · 04-03-2008, 03:14 PM
