Thursday Billboard Update - 3/6/08

I know I usually start with the Billboard 200, but I'm gonna switch it up this week in recognition of Usher who bust the Hot 100 wide open this week. After jumping 32 spots last week, his latest single Love In This Club jumped an incredible 50 spots all the way up to #1 this time around. I've been listening to the radio a lot lately and they've been playing this songs like crazy, but damn! This HAS to be the fastest tracks to #1 (if not, then one of them) because its only been on the charts for 3 weeks [editor's note: its actually the 3rd longest jump to #1 according to Billboard.com]. Oh yeah this officially knocks Flo Rida's Low from the top of the charts if you were wondering.

Now, back to the Billboard 200. We have a new #1 people! Ms. Jackson's Discipline debuts at the top this week with 181,000 sold, knocking off former #1 Jack Johnson. Erykah Badu's new weirdo album New Amerykah debuts at #2 with 123,900 album sold. The last new entry into the top 10 this week is Webbie's Savage Life 2 which sold 72,500 off the strength of his single Independent. I must say, I didn't do too bad on my This Week In Flops predictions in my 1st week back with them since December.

The Billboard 200 1-10

1. Janet Jackson - Discipline
2. Erykah Badu - New Amerykah
3. Jack Johnson - Sleep Through Static
4. Webbie - Savage Life 2
5. Alicia Keys - As I Am
6. Miley Cyrus - Hannah Montana 2 sdtk
7. Various Artists - Once sdtk
8. Various Artists - Juno sdtk
9. Sara Bareilles - Little Voice
10. Amy Winehouse - Back To Black

• I'm sure to illseed's astonishment, Shawty Lo's first album Units In The City debuts at #13 with a mere 31,000 actual units sold. I tried to tell people his track was doing good in the streets, but wasn't duplicating that on Billboard.
• Lo's debut seems like a success compared to Cheri Dennis as In And Out Of Love comes in at #74 and only moves 10,700. Damn Diddy, damn lol.
  

The Billboard Hot 100 1-10

1. Usher - Love In This Club (51-1)
2. Flo Rida - Low (1-2)
3. Chris Brown - With You (2-3)
4. Rihanna - Don't Stop The Music (5-3)
5. Sara Bareilles - Love Song (4-5)
6. Jordin Sparks - No Air (13-6)
7. Timbaland - Apologize (6-7)
8 Alicia Keys - No One (5-8)
9. Webbie - Independent (9-9)
10. Snoop Dogg - Sensual Seduction (7-10)

• Flo Rida's Elevator jumps 12 more spots 28-16.
• Janet Jackson's Feedback skies 34 spots 53-19 this week.
• Mariah Carey's extremely corny new song Touch My Body moves 10 jumps north 34-24.

The Math

Our projections show the most likely outcome of yesterday's elections will be that Hillary Clinton gained 187 delegates, and we gained 183.

That's a net gain of 4 delegates out of more than 370 delegates available from all the states that voted.

For comparison, that's less than half our net gain of 9 delegates from the District of Columbia alone. It's also less than our net gain of 8 from Nebraska, or 12 from Washington State. And it's considerably less than our net gain of 33 delegates from Georgia.

The task for the Clinton campaign yesterday was clear. In order to have a plausible path to the nomination, they needed to score huge delegate victories and cut into our lead.

They failed.

It's clear, though, that Senator Clinton wants to continue an increasingly desperate, increasingly negative -- and increasingly expensive -- campaign to tear us down.

That's her decision. But it's not stopping John McCain, who clinched the Republican nomination last night, from going on the offensive. He's already made news attacking Barack, and that will only become more frequent in the coming days.

Right now, it's essential for every single supporter of Barack Obama to step up and help fight this two-front battle. In the face of attacks from Hillary Clinton and John McCain, we need to be ready to take them on.

Will you make an online donation of $25 right now?

The chatter among pundits may have gotten better for the Clinton campaign after last night, but by failing to cut into our lead, the math -- and their chances of winning -- got considerably worse.

Today, we still have a lead of more than 150 delegates, and there are only 611 pledged delegates left to win in the upcoming contests.

By a week from today, we will have competed in Wyoming and Mississippi. Two more states and 45 more delegates will be off the table.

But if Senator Clinton wants to continue this, let's show that we're ready.

Make an online donation of $25 now to show you're willing to fight for this:

Thank you,

Random News Shit

1) Was Moses high on Mount Sinai?

Whoever brought this theory up is going to hell like a muthafucka lol.

2) Man sentenced for putting nude pics of ex on 'Net

What a loser! This nigga definitely got what he deserved and anyone that would do that to someone that once cared about is a coward.

3) Thousands of crack sentences could be reduced

Well that's good news...kinda lol. I'm sure that won't be reduced that much though because if we don't put black people in prison what else will we do with them?? Didn't think about that one huh? lol.

4) Molester leaps to death from court balcony

Good. He should have done it before he got desperate enough to molest that child.

5) German police dogs to wear shoes

LMAO!! I hate to take it back to the Mike Vick argument, but white people its just a damn dog lol.

Snoop Dogg Feat. Uncle Chucc - Neva Have To Worry Video

Okay, I finally watched the video and I must say it is pretty hot. I love how it came on with the cipha and Kurupt tearin' that shit down like he's known to do. Only thing is who in the hell brings a saxophone to a cipha?? That was the only question mark I had for an otherwise flawless video from Big Snoop.

Oh yeah I listened to Ego Trippin' once and I'll have a review as soon as I listen to it at least one more time. More reviews for the '08!

The New Heavy Weight Champion Of The World...

While rappers are bragging about how much richer they are than poor people, the actual wealthy people in the world just continue to get wealthier. Case and point: Though Bill Gates has $2 billion more than he had last year that still didn't stop him from getting bumped down to #3 on the World's Richest list. If you remember back in late summer, early fall Mexican telecom tycoon Carlos Slim Helú dethroned Bill Gates from his #1 spot he held for 13 years straight and now Warren Buffet has taken down Slim to become the richest man in the world. Yes, the WORLD! The illest investor ever is now at $62 billion. That's $10 billion up from last year if you're keeping track at home lol. [FULL STORY]

How Wack Is This??

The Game is my nigga and all, but this shit right here is corny as fuck lol. Check this shit out:


LMAO! I love how buddy at the beginning is talking all somberly like someone passed away, that shit is just hilarious. He also makes it seem like The Game was going to jail for an extended period of time lol. The nigga going for 60 days! And he probably won't even do all of that, so wassup with the front?? lol. Then again knowing Game he probably had this all planned out like one of my favorite DVDs, Stop Snitchin', Stop Lyin' lol.

Oh yeah and yes you saw and read right, he IS selling his own free himself shirts lol. The lil incarcerated man having that stupid star he tatted on his face just take this shit to another level of comedy. That's hilarious! This is like the corniest shit ever, I swear lol. Who tries to profit off of going to jail?? At this point, I wouldn't doubt him doing all that dumb shit on purpose just to go to jail and have reason to sell "Free The Game" shirts lol. I still like Game, but this shit is wack as hell lol.

Its Not As Bad As It Looks

Don't worry about last night results, its really just headlines. In actuality Hillary only gained about 20 delegates on our lead (if that) and that's mostly just from winning Ohio. Rhode Island and Vermont pretty much canceled each other out so nothing was lost or gained there. Now, she won the Texas primary too, but Barack won the caucus and won in more delegate rich counties so there's still a chance he might win more delegates in TX than her.

Don't get me wrong, last night was not a success for the Barack campaign, but it was far from a loss. Like I said 2 week's ago, if Hillary lost it was over, but she won and this shit has to keep going on. Its all good though because its Barack's time and nothing can stop that.

Lloyd & Lil Wayne Album On The Way??

Well according to So, that's what he told Rhapsody. He says it would be called Best Of Young Worlds (corny) if they do, but I'm gonna have to throw a wrench into their operation and say this is a dumb idea for a few reasons:

1) Wayne needs to take his Birdman kissing ass to the studio, make some HOT records and put out this fuckin' Carter III so these dickridin' nigga can stop calling it the most anticipated album of the year every year lol. They say Wayne is in the studio all the time making records, but makings songs doesn't make you one of the greats, making good songs does and obviously Wayne has a problem making good songs or else we would've got Tha Carter III a long time ago.

2) Wayne is supposed to be doing projects with Juelz, The Game, and the Hot Boyz and not one of those shits are gonna see the light of day anytime soon. That's not a good sign for an album with Lloyd that they haven't even started working on yet.

3) Lloyd isn't as hot as Wayne is right now. Don't get me wrong, Lloyd does his thing, but he's not a major artists like everyone wants Wayne to be. If Lloyd dropped an album and it flopped we wouldn't be surprised, but if Lil Wayne ever drops Tha Carter III and does 100,000 first week he'll be the laughing stock of the industry...again lol.

4) Judging by other collaborations Wayne has done, the album probably wouldn't be hot anyway.

I could probably keep going, but this really isn't even worthy of all the time I've gave it already lol. [FULL STORY]

Max B - Umma Do Me (Jim Jones Diss)

Here's Mix B's diss record for Jimmy off his new mixtape Million Dollar Baby 2:

Max B - Umma Do Me (Jim Jones Diss)


This should really be a diss to Rocko because everyone else is more known for this shit than he is and its his record lol. Anyway, Max claims to have written for Jimmy which isn't that far fetch, but maybe not the best thing to brag about at times lol. Well, if I had to rock that little ass chain he has on in that picture above I'd probably diss my boss too lol.

Only time will tell if Jim will reply, but my guess is it'll be through DVD, not song.
