Once again, sorry for the delay on the weekly numbers. I don’t really have a valid excuse other than just forgetting. My sincerest apologies. A couple new albums hit the shelves last week. Monica dropped a new album and is sitting at number 2. Brotha Lynch Hung also dropped and is sitting towards to bottom at 68. Of course, Black Eye Peas are still up top along with Sade who went platinum. Here is the top.
