- Debuting at #42 on this week's 200 is Joe Budden's Padded Room with just 13,900 copies sold. I'm not sure if that's counting digital sales or not (since he is on a digital base record company) but either way he'll be the butt of a few up coming jokes.
- Didn't even know Project Pat was putting an album out, but Real Recognize Real opened up at #70 with 8,800 sold.
- Another album I didn't know was coming out is B-Real's Smoke & Mirrors. The Cypress Hill rapper came in at #148 with just 3,900 sold.
