As you know last week was a big week for releases in Hip Hop and R&B Music. While some artist will have a lot to be jolly about this Christmas, others will not when it comes to album sales. So Who's #1 this week? Unfortunately none of the R&B/Hip Hop albums released last week took the spot. America's Got Talent winner Susan Boyle reigns another week atop of the charts having sold roughly 250,000 copies this week. Another big seller, Taylor Swift's latest release sold another amazing 251,000 copies this week. (WOW...) Michael Jackson's "Michael" LP will debut at #3 having sold about 224,000 copies (not too bad.) R. Kelly's "Love Letter" sold about 150,000 copies and will debut at the #6 slot. Diddy-Dirty Money barely made it in the top 10, coming in at the #10 slot with "Last Train to Paris" selling about 87,000 copies. Unfortunately Ciara's Basic Instinct only sold about 38,000 copies and will enter the chart at #43 (YIKES) Tank's Now or Never will debut at #38 having sold 41,000 copies. Unfortunately Kandi's Kandi Koated will not debut in the top 50.
These numbers are collected from Hits Daily Double and are subject to minor changes when the official chart debuts tomorrow. I feel really bad for Ciara, hopefully she does something to help the album to continue to sale. This goes for Kandi and Tank as well...It's hard out there for R&B and Hip Hop Artist. Hopefully all of the albums will continue to sale. SUPPORT BLACK MUSIC!!!
