I almost forgot to comment on the weekly numbers today. Today is the end one of the biggest weeks of the year for hip hop because the Clipse dropped their 3rd album, Til The Casket Drops. People were estimating that the Clipse were only going to move a measly 30K in their first week. Well, those numbers were correct. Clipse dropped one of the best albums of the year but only managed to sell just over 30K. I don’t know WTF is wrong with people because they also dropped 3 of the best songs of the year before the album even dropped. Another “shocker” to some might be Gucci Mane’s numbers. He moved 90K in his first week, which if you ask me is terrible considering he RUNS the radio. If labels haven’t been scrambling, they should be now. Hits don’t mean record sales unless your Jay-Z, Black Eyed Peas, Eminem or Lil Wayne. It’s a sad day for real. Regardless, I still encourage everyone to go out and BUY Clipse album because it is worth the money. Gucci’s on the other hand, maybe just google The State Vs. Radric Davis mediafire. That should do. Chris Brown pulled in Rihanna numbers with just over 100K, Snoop moved just under 60K and Timbaland FAILED with 40K. Check the top.

For having absolutely no promotion, BG’s album almost hit 20K. 50 looks like he will never reach platinum and Michael Jackson is STILL the man. Stay tuned for next weeks numbers.
