Jay-Z's
Blueprint 3 hangs on to his #1 spot with 297,913 copies sold in its 2nd week on shelves. He should be getting his platinum plaque in 2 weeks. Whitney's comeback album
I Look To You bounces back to #2 this week and also goes gold with 155,600 in its 3rd week. KiD CuDi's debut album
Man On The Moon shits on
my prediction and sells 104,300 while coming in at #4. Drake's
So Far Gone EP goes just over what I predicted and does 73,600 at #6. If he can do that with an EP filled with songs he gave out for free just months ago, imagine what
Thank Me Later is gonna do. Right behind Drake is Lil Boosie at #7 as his
Superbad sells 48,900. This is Boosie's first top 10 of his career.
A lot of action going on on the Hot 100 this week. Jay-Z and Drake dominate this week in a major way. Jay's
Run This Town with Kanye West and Rihanna shows no signs of slowing down as it moves to a new high at #2. At #5 is
Empire State Of Mind with Alicia Keys which sold 205,000 in digital downloads over the past week (shout out to Lil Mama lol). Drake makes his first dent with
Forever featuring Kanye, Lil Wayne, and Eminem starting out at #8.
