Rap Albums on The Billboard Chart

Lil Wayne is back at the top this week with the highest selling rapper album on the billboard chart. Tha Carter 4 sold 45,000 copies in its 7th week on the chart, and is now at a total of 1,551,000 sold. I think his sales are not looking bad for the climate hip hop is in now, but compared to someone like Eminem's solo album sales, Lil Wayne still has a long way to go. Recovery from Eminem was released last year, and it has sold 4 million copies...that's in the U.S alone.




J.Cole's Cole World: The Sideline Story album sold 33,000 copies this week, to now total at 305,000. The Throne (jay-z and kanye west) sold 22,000 copies of their Watch The Throne album, and now are at a total of 975,000.


Bad Meets Evil (eminem and royce da 5'9) sold 10, 000 copies of their EP (Hell: The Sequel), and are now at a total of 574,000 copies sold. I still believe they have a short at going plat...maybe sometime next year.


Game's The R.E.D Album sold 4,500 copies this week, and is now at a total 195,000 copies sold so far. That ain't looking too good, but Game is not doing anything about it either. I know he is touring right now, but i don't think that is enough to promote the album. He needs another single/video from the album, and some guest appearances.


Styles P's Master of Ceremonies album sold 4,400 copies in it's second week, and is now at a total of 16,000. Murs debuts on the chart this week with 2,100 copies sold of his Love & Rockets, Vol 1. album.
