A whole lot of movement this week on the Billboard 200 as new 5 albums debut in the top 10! Makes me even madder than I never got a chance to do This Week In Flops last week. Anyway, unable to knock off Metallica in there hot streak, Ne-Yo's third album Year Of The Gentleman debuts at #2 with 250,000 sold. Coming in right after that is Nelly's Brass Knuckles moving a lowly (by his standards) 84,000 units. I saw this coming a mile away because as you all know, in the music biz, once its over, its over...and its over for Nelly musically. I mean why else do you think it took him 4-5 singles to release this album?? And none of those singles popped off at all, even the one with Fergie and she's coming off a year where she had like 5 #1's lol. Lastly, down at #7 is DJ Khaled's We Global which managed 49,000 in its first week. Damn good for a Koch album so big ups to Khaled. Unfortunately for him it won't be such a happy day come Oct. 14th when Ace drops lol.Like I told you yesterday, Kanye's Love Lockdown debuted at #3 on the Hot 100 today. That is the high debut of his career, I know, weird lol. Anyway, everything else pretty much remained the same besides Taylor Swift's Love Story (16-5) and Katy Perry's Hot N Cold (12-9) replacing T.I.'s Swagger Like Us (5-22) and Chris Brown's Forever (6-11).
