Hip Hop Sales For Last Week

akeys

Alicia Keys keeps moving units with a little under 300k sold. Chris Brown moves a couple hundred more units than Bow Wow & Omarion’s Faceoff with 108k. Birdman sells 86k, Mario 76k, Wu-Tang 67k & Beanie Sigel sells 48k. Last week saw a lot of sales but only one Hip Hop/R&B album made the top ten, which was Alicia Keys coming in at number 1.

There are reports Lupe Fiasco will move around 160k in his first week. How much records have to be sold in the first week in order to be considered a success?

    Forget about 1st week sales. it’s the status the album reaches gold, platinum, diamond, ect. in a certain amount of time that determines the success of an album imo.
