This Week's Top Selling Rap Albums on Billboard's Top 200 Albums Chart

His haters said he wouldn't sell more 80k first week; industry experts projected that he would sell between 140-150k first week; I predicted it would sell between 140-180k first week. Guess who was right? Kay. Rick Ross's sixth album, Mastermind is the Number One album in the country this week (giving him his 5th Number One), with 179,000 copies first week sales. Even I as a Ross fan thought it was over for him after GFID, but after listening to Mastermind, I had to give it to him...he made a great album.
