The numbers are in once again. There were a few new releases that dropped last week and two of them hit the top of the charts. Ludacris dropped his album, Battle of the Sexes, and debuted at number 1, moving 137K. Right below Luda was the Gorillaz new album, Plastic Beach, debuting at number 2 with 112K. Still up at the are Sade, Black Eyed Peas and Lil Wayne’s Rebirth. Here is the top.

Kidz in the Hall also dropped this week moving just under 3K. I am still curious why selling 3,000 earns you a spot on the charts. I would like to see the top 200 back in like 95 and see what the lowest numbers were. Until next week….
