A LOOK AT THE RAP ALBUMS ON THE BILLBOARD CHARTS

Another week has run through, so fast if you would ask me. Anyway, it is that time of the week when i give you the stats of how rap albums are doing on the billboard chart.

Ludacris's "battle of the sexes album is still the most relevant rap album on the charts for now; 25,000 copies this week, bringing the total to 335,000 copies sold so far. I am still yet to have a feel of the album, i would probably cop it this weekend; must definitely.

Gucci mane's mixtape, "burrprint 2" sold 19,000 copies in it's first week in stores. Nice numbers, concidering the fact that it is a mixtape.

All the other rap albums are not doing to good with the numbers; the trio of GHOST FACE KILLA, METHODMAN AND RAEKWON sold 6,600 copies this week, of their joint effort, WU MASSACRE, bringing the total to 56k.
E-40'S revenue retrieving: day shift sold 3,700 copies this week, bringing the total to 21k. Snoop doggs "more malice" cd sold 3,400 copies this week, bringing the total to 34k.


That is it for this week, see you next week.

A LOOK AT THE BILLBOARD CHARTS

This week has two rap debuts from veteran rappers: You have the dynamic collaboration from REAKWON, METHOD MAN AND GHOST FACE KILLER with there album, Wu Massacre, and you have a new album from E-40, Revenue Retrievin: Day Shift. and Revenue Retrievin: Night Shift , a double cd. The two debuts sold, 39,000 and 12,000 copies respectively. I think i wasn't expecting more, because of the climate of the industry right now, towards core rap releases.

Else where on the charts, you have LUDACRIS'S battle of the sexes album doing luke warm numbers, 40k this week, to bring the total, after 3 weeks to 284k.

Those are all the notable rap releases for this week...if i didn't mention any new release you know about, it is probably because it is not in my radar, probably selling below 1k.
