Rap Albums on the Billboard Charts

This week does not have too much changes from last week; it is still Eminem and Lil Wayne sitting at the top of the charts. I Am Not A Human Being by wayne did 45,000 copies this week, bringing the total to 411,000 copies sold. Two more weeks, and it would have gone gold, but the funny thing is that everybody i know that has heard the album does not like it. Hmm!!! I guess i have to listen to it before i make my judgment.

Eminem's Recovery album is gearing closer and closer to the 3 million mark in sales. His 5th studio album sold 38,000 copies this week, bringing the over-all total to 2,936,000 copies. I think in two weeks it would have gone tripple platinum.

Rick Ross, the number one gangster rapper in the states is also doing good with his latest album...His 4th album since his debut in 2006. Teflon Don did 10,000 copies this week, and its total sales is at 463,000 copies. It might seem low, but believe it or not, he is the third highest selling rapper for the year 2010 so far; so i think that alone is an achievement.

Wacka Flocka Flame's Fokavelli album sold 9,100 copies this week, bringing the total to 86,000 copies sold. Pitbull's new album, Armando did 7,200 copies in its first week in stores. His style is not completely rap, but the few lines when he is actually rapping, he comes correct. Ice Cube's I Am The West album still isn't doing so good. It sold 2,600 copies this week, bringing the total to a 44,000 mark.

I can't wait for more rap albums on the chart, but i guess the rest of the rappers out there are scared to drop.
