It is the end of another week of sales on the billboard chart: if you didn't know, the sales week starts on tuesday and ends on tuesday. That means soundscan counts from tuesday to tuesday and gives out the full week sales on wednesdays, and i get on that day or the next.
Anyway, this week on the charts, LUDACRIS is still the only rapper moving major units (although the units are not so major), and this week, his latest effort, BATTLE OF THE SEXES moves 26,000 copies, bringing the over all total to 310,000 copies so far. It is on it's way to selling 500k.
The trio of METHOD MAN, GHOSTFACE KILLA AND RAEKWON of the veteran rap group, WU TAN CLAN dropped a collaborative album a couple of weeks ago, and is another notable rap album on the charts. Although it is not moving massive units, it is still looking good for the declining sales in rap albums of recent. The album sold 11k this week, bringing the total to 49k
50 cents fouth album, BEFORE I SELF DESTRUCT has crawled back on the charts and has managed to sell 2,400 copies this week, bringing the total to 436k. I hope he makes it to 500k.
President of Def Jam South, and TERROR SQUAD member, DJ KHALEED has his compilation album on the charts this week. Although i feel the album is not doing as good as someone of his recent caliber should be doing, it is worth the mention. The album which is titled VICTORY, sold 2,400copies this week, bringing the total sales to 52k
That is all for this week, till i come your way again next week.
