Thursday Billboard Update - 7/10/08

Guess who back in the muthafuckin' house? Tha Carter III, that's who! Okay, that was my attempt at excitement...did it work?? Aight well like proceed anyway lol. So yeah Tha Carter III is back atop the Billboard 200 with 156,000 despite a 25% sales decrease....the industry is definitely in the crappers lol. So far Weezy has moved 1.68 million so the countdown to 2 million is on. Oh and Three 6's Last 2 Walk is gone from the top 10 that fast.

Now, to the real big news: G-Unit's T.O.S. only sold 101,600! Daaaamn! I mean I'm not surprised by this, but its still a little shocking to see. Well of course they've blamed it on Interscope, but like I've said before I believe 50 knew this project was gonna flop which is why he opted to shot that movie instead of promoting the project with Banks and Yayo. I'm sure Buck already has a diss on deck lol.

Same characters, different positions. Check it out below.

The Billboard 200 1-10

1. Lil Wayne - Tha Carter III

• WTF! Tech N9ne debuted at #12!?! Damn, I guess that album cover did him more justice than I thought it might lol. Anyway, Killer managed a career high 36,200 sold! Congrats.
• Byrd Gang's M.O.B.: The Album wasn't as lucky as Tech's, as they debut at #29 with 17,200 sold, but hell Jim Jones is rich so hopefully he's breaking bread with them niggas.
