Weekly Numbers 1/6/2009

The weekly numbers are in thanks to HipHopDx.  There isn’t really any exciting news or surprises.  Black Eyed Peas and Eminem still continue to move units while Alicia Keys and Mary J. Blige are still holding on up top.  Young Money is doing alrigh too but I wonder if they are disappointed especially with the hype surround Wayne, Nicki Minaj and Drake? Check out the top.

Weekly Numbers 12/31/2009

For my last post of 2009, I wanted to share the weekly numbers with everyone.  Christmas seemed to be very helpful to a lot of artist’s sales including Eminem, Alicia Keys and Black Eyed Peas.  New releases like Mary J Blige and Young Money’s We Are Young Money made strong debuts as well.  Here is the top.

29,000 334,000
171 Clipse Til The Casket Drops
8,400 51,000

Despite dropping one of the best albums of the year, the Clipse are still not moving units like they should.  Gucci Mane’s sales are a little disappointing,” if you look at how many times his shit is played on the radio.  50 Cent looks like he probably won’t break gold either.  I wonder how people are feeling about 2009 and what the future will hold????  Stayed tuned for next weeks sales.  Happy Holidays to all.  See you  next year.

Weekly Numbers 12/2/2009

I got more numbers for those who are still in denial.  50 Cent made his way to a quarter millie, Black Eyed Peas are still murdering most people’s first week numbers, Birdman did better than I would have predicted and Blakroc isn’t breaking much ground even though Hoochie Coo is AMAZING.  Here is the top.

Album Sales 10/28/2009

It is a sad, sad day people and by sad I mean VERY sad.  The weekly album sales are in and Royce Da 5’9″, who is one of the biggest names on the blogs/websites/internet, etc moved about as many units Mack 10.  Wait a minute, does that even make sense?  I’m kinda confused because Lil Boosie dropped an album or mixtape and sold damn near DOUBLE the amount that Royce sold.  Kid Cudi is STILL moving more units than Royce.  I can’t say that I’m surprised but I am more so just disappointed and lost.  Drake is still going strong, Jay sold another 45K and the Black Eyed Peas are still doing the same.  Peep. 

61 Kid Cudi Man On The Moon: End Of Day
8,900 183,000
62 Eminem Relapse
8,500 1,490,000
95 Lil Boosie Superbad: The Return Of Boosie Badazz
5,500 95,000
111 Royce Da 5’9″ Street Hop 4,600 4,600
129 Melanie Fiona The Bridge
4,000 4,200

Now check out the top of the list.

4 Jay-Z Blueprint 3
43,000 1,159,000
6 Black Eyed Peas The E.N.D.
35,000 1,270,000
14 Mariah Carey Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel 21,000 275,000
20 Whitney Houston I Look To You
19,000 750,000
23 Drake So Far Gone 17,000 197,00

I wish HipHopDx would start lying about these numbesr to make me feel better.  Looks like rappers better be pop or perish.
