Thursday Billboard Update - 8/5/10

After fending off Rick Ross's Teflone Don last week, I thought Eminem's Recovery would be a lock for a 6th week at #1. But no. Recovery still moves an impressive 158,658, but Avenged Sevenfold's Nightmare moved 162,505 to takeover at #1. Em could very well return to #1 next week if it keeps up its steady pace, so this is just a bump in the road for Marshall.

Not much has changed from last week, Eminem's Love The Way You Lie featuring Rihanna remains #1. Katy Perry's Teenage Dream (20-7) and Usher's DJ Got Us Fallin' In Love (12-9) cross into the top 10.

The Billboard 200 1-10

• Tech N9ne's Gates Mixed Plate checks in at #13 with 17,230 sold.
• 50 Cent said Fat Joe's new album The Darkside Vol. 1 sold 5,000 copies the other day. Well it actually sold 12,000 (12,186 to be exact). Nothing to write home about, but about at least he can say 50 was wrong if that helps lol.
• Dru Hil's Indrupendence Day debuts at #30 and sells 11,500. Much better than I thought.

This Week In Flops 7/27/10

Fresh off being blessed with the title of Industry Prognosticator by Billboard.com, your boy Fiyah is back to do some prognosticating. Lets go!

Let's get a consensus going, Fat Joe has fallen completely off, right?? Oh ok, just making sure. I have this album, but haven't heard any it yet, and I'm assuming not many will. I'm guessing just 15-35k for the Fat man.

This is Tech N9ne's 11th studio album, can you believe that?? I can't, and that's probably because I still have heard any of them. Oh well, Tech still has a fanbase and does very well for an independent artist, so I'm guessing he lands in the 10-25 range.

Hands up if you knew this album was coming out?? Stop lying, I didn't even know it was coming until I saw it leaked over the weekend lol. What the fuck Dru Hill, y'all didn't want to wait and try to build any buzz for this shit?? I mean, what is the single?? Has anybody heard it?? Hell, does anybody know what it was even called?? This album promises to be more of a fail than Nokio's hair (hey Nokio, being suspect is Sisqo's shtick, not yours), so I'm guessing 3-15k.

I didn't even know there were enough Slum Village members alive to make this album happen. I'm not sure this album will chart, so I'm thinking 1-6k.

Dru Hill Makes Up To Break Up

I was gonna post a bunch of shit today, but I had to go to Level 6 with Smiley, but me, Andy Boy, and the Gwop Boyz watched this clip of Dru Hill plenty of times lol:


I dunno if this shit is real or fake (besides that fake ass fight lol), but it sure the hell is funny lol. You know I didn't even know Dru Hill broke up before this video?? lol. I remember they added a 5th member in like 2002 for some reason, but I really don't remember them breaking up. Oh well, I know now lol.
