The dynamic duo of pim c and bun b(ugk) sit at the top this week, although, sadly, pim c passed on a couple of years ago, but this album had already been recorded before then, so there is one half posthumous in the group.


Flo rida is at second place. Dissapointing if you would ask me. With all the air play his single, "right round" has been getting, and also breaking records of selling over 600,000 digital copies in its first single, you would think he would sell more than he did. He is an example of a ring tone rapper.


Another dissapointing artist debuting on the charts this week is BOW WOW. Releasing his 6th studio album since he debuted in 2000 with his first album, "beware of dog", which sold almost 250k in its first week in stores. Bow wow doing 30k, recession or not, is a flop.


Albums to watch out for next week, are albums from mims and jadakiss(the last kiss). I would put jada at between 60k-100k. As for mims, i am a fan, but i think he does not have enough promotion right now. I put his first week sales close to what bow wow did.
