Thursday Billboard Update - 7/1/10

As we've all heard by now, Eminem's Recovery debuts at #1 with 741,413 sold. It kills me that everybody was so shocked and surprised by this like Eminem doesn't do numbers. Whatever, Em's number this week and Drake's numbers last week prove people will still buy GOOD music no matter when an album leaks. Has piracy effected the music industry?? Of course, but labels release shit that's not worth buying has a lot to do with it too. Oh yeah, and The Roots' How I Get Over comes in at #6 with 50,961 in first week sales.

Eminem swamps the Hot 100 this week with 6 new debuts, but none higher than Love The Way You Lie with Rihanna which starts off at #2. Hmm, a wise man once said don't be surprised if this became the 2nd or 3rd single, I wonder who that was??

The Billboard 200 1-10
first week debuts in bold

1. Eminem - Recovery (1)
2. Drake - Thank Me Later (1-2)
3. Miley Cyrus - Can't Be Tamed (3)
4. Ozzy Osbourne - Scream (4)
5. Various Artists - Now 34 (4-5)
6. The Roots - How I Get Over (6)
7. Jack Johnson - To The Sea (5-7)
8. Justin Bieber - My World 2.0 (7-8)
9. Sarah McLachlan - Laws of Illusion (3-9)
10. Various Artists - The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (6-10)

• Keith Sweat's Ridin' Solo debuts at #13 with 24,477.
• Macy Gray dropped a new album?? Evidently yes. Sellout debuted at #37 with 11,500 sold.

BET Hip-Hop Awards Cypher

This was again the best part of the show! Nicki was wack (lyrically and facial expressionally lol), Buckshot was cool, Crown Royyal was nice, and Mouse KILLED that shit!



Wale sounded like he was sleepy, Nipsey did his thing, I don't know what the hell 3rd buddy was talking about, and KRS-One ripped it the hardest with an actual freestyle.



This was EASILY the best one overall because they ALL ripped it! Like seriously, I wouldn't mind listening to this shit as a song, its that dope.

Very dope, well at least when performed live. I'm interested in seeing how the studio version will sound. It may be hot, but I just don't see how it could be as hot as that live performance was. And that's not a bad thing because that performance was top-notch! Welp, mp3 coming soon!

This Week In Flops 4/29/08

Welp we all knew this day was coming eventually and its finally here! I actually would like to see her do good, but I just can't imagine her selling more than 70k so I'm predicting she does 45-55k.

Damn, whatever happened to Shawty Get Loose?? It was doing so good, then it just disappeared lol.

I didn't know Lyfe's album was dropping until I saw it up for download and thats never a good sign, you can ask Trina about that lol. Anyway, with no single really poppin' its hard to see light at the end of this tunnel so I'm guessing 25-35k.

Another album I didn't know was dropping today. I listened to this over the weekend and its DEFINITELY worth the money so I'll probably be coppin' later this week. Unfortunately, my one purchase won't help much so I got them doing 20-25k.

I actually knew this was dropping because after I heard it I knew I HAD to have it! I'll most definitely be going to pick this up some time this week. Anyway, unfortunately she's not as hot over here as she is in UK so this album will start slow, but hopefully it'll be pick like Amy Winehouse last year. I got Estelle doing 10-20k in her first week due to lack or interest and/or promo.

The Roots Feat. Wale & Chrisette Michelle

I guess the Roots are getting ready to drop an album because the have been dropping a lot of heat to the internet lately. That's never a bad thing though, of course. I've heard of this dude Wale and he supposedly got a deal recently and Chrisette Michelle is definitely one of the illest singer out today so you already know this is gonna be a treat before you press play.

Can't wait for the album...maybe it'll even get promoted this time around lol.
