Rap Albums On Billboard Chart

Drake's Take Care album still is the highest selling rap album on the chart for this week. It sold 29,000 copies this week, to now total at 1,350,000. It is heading for 1.5 mill soon. And probably 2 million before the end of second quarter.



Young Jeezy is up next with his TM 103 album, which is now at a total of 380,000 copies after 5 weeks on the chart. It sold 19,000 copies this week. Jay-Z and Kanye West (The Throne) sold 12,000 copies of their Watch The Throne album, to now stand at 1,273,000.


Lil Wayne's Carter 4 sold 11,000 copies this week, and now totals at 1,957,000 copies since its Aug 28 release. Common's The Dreamer/The Believer album sold 5,500 copies to stand at 112,000 so far. Common has never been a high seller, so this is not really disappointing. He serves a smaller fan base.





Wale also sold 5,500 copies of his Ambition album this week, to now total at 345,000 copies. He is gunning for that Gold Plaque. I think one more single would get him there. Yo Gotti's Live From The Kitchen album sold 5,200 copies in its second week and now is at 22,000.
