I try not to look at the charts..too depressing.. so kenny lattimore/chante moore album is nowhere to be seen? :sick:

[JumpinJack AJ]

There's a whole lot of Hip-Hop and R-N-B in the bottom half tho'. Most of that will stay there while the higher stuff shifts and falls.

[bigted]

Wow it seems music is like movies now, if you don't sell a lot in the first week you ain't gonna do that well, you really gotta go gold or platinum in first week to have big sales these days, only people like Justin and Beyonce do that while everyone else struggles, Diddy had a huge drop from last week(so I guess this'll really be his final album since nobody wants to hear him anymore, lol), Lupe had a respectable start selling 80,000 in the first week but it seemed like it ran out of steam fast, I actually hear "Daydreamin'" on the radio though, kinda odd that it ain't doing better, I thought that album would have legs from word of mouth since it's so good, that's how Lyfe Jennings' last album went platinum, it just stayed on the charts for a long time from word of mouth, even though it only sold like 5,000 copies in the first week, he got off to a better start too this time but it seems like that ain't gonna happen this time for him either, that seems to be once in a lifetime to sell well without a big first week

Man, those Lupe Fiasco numbers really make me sad. It's a GREAT album that hip hop fans need to stop sleeping on.

God Blessa!

[bigted]

There don't seem to be that much real hip-hop fans for Lupe, 15 year olds make up the majority of the buying public and that's why real hip-hop don't sell, and with all those big name rappers on Hi-Tek's album I'm surprised that it's only selling 28,000 copies, but the good news is that at least Lloyd Banks, Young Dro, and Chingy are flopping too instead of selling millions like it could be, it could be a lot worse

[Cozmo D]

All of those relatively low numbers warm my heart!
