Album Sales 04/30/08 - Hip Hop Album Sales: Week Ending 4/27/08

YoungGeeza · 04-30-2008, 07:12 PM

Underground mainstays Atmosphere [click to read] killed it this week selling a very impressive 36,300 copies of When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold. This sixth album from Atmosphere has been basking in the glow of outstanding reviews, and landed the #5 spot on the charts this week, dethroning Rick Ross as the top seller for Hip Hop. Atmosphere was beat by a second-week domination by Mariah Carey - who's E=MC2 went gold this week - Leona Lewis, Flight of the Concords, and Ashlee Simpson, respectively.
Rick Ross' Trilla comes in at #15 this week, selling 26,700 copies and working towards gold, while Alicia Keys moves up to #24 from #30 despite some negative press revolving around comments made to Blender Magainze about 'gangsta rap' being a conspiracy theory. As I Am sold 16,400 copies this week. Following one spot behind is Danity Kane's Welcome to the Dollhouse at # 25. Diddy's ladies sold 16,100 copies this week.

I dunno who did Worse, Florida with the Guiness Record Breaking for most DOwnloaded Song, Snoop for Flopping for the first time with the horrible songs or Prodigy saying Who Dissed like 40 East Coast Mcs for not being relevant and looks like he is as relevant as Most Dipset members...

That's fucked up for P. I feel sorry for him, his album was a banger.

Phantom_rydaz · 04-30-2008, 08:35 PM

^^yea that sucks for P

mEatwaD · 04-30-2008, 10:52 PM

bahahahahahaha

atmosphere >> prodigy

Em_Young · 04-30-2008, 11:18 PM

P's album was shit. Return Of The Mack shitted on HNIC 2 in every possible way and aspect. ROTM was definately UNDERRATED and it sold a little more than 100.000 copies. HNIC is highly OVERRATED. He shouldnt even sell 10.000.

BWS4LIFE11189 · 04-30-2008, 11:31 PM

i really liked P's new album. that shit banged. i played that cd for like a week straight in my car

kac · 05-01-2008, 12:50 AM

Interesting info. Thanks !!!

AYOung · 05-01-2008, 07:39 AM

Props for the info. Man the Promo In VA for H.N.I.C 2 was weak and I guess it was everywhere. I wish Prodigy had gotten better sales on the first week cuz' In my Opinion H.N.I.C 2 Is a classic. P got better with his lyrics and his flow structure. The bars hit the beat and his message is on point.

blazer15 · 05-01-2008, 07:41 PM

Damn, i though P would do better than that!
