Trey Songz new album, Passion Pain and Pleasure sold 240K in its first week and is sitting at number 2 on the charts. Eminem is right behind him with 89K sold this week.

Black Milk’s Album of the Year sold 3,700 in its first week while Bilal did 4,800. I think those both go as no surprise though. Go buy Black Milk’s album and support one of the best albums of the year. John Legend and The Roots, Wake Up dropped yesterday and it is pretty dope as well. Until next week.
