Lil Wayne managed to snag the number one spot on the charts despite being behind bars with his new project, I Am Not A Human Being.  He sold 102,000 copies this week putting him at 259,000.  I bet his downloads are well over a million though.  Eminem is still sitting up top at number 5 while Bruno Mars, Trey Songs and Waka Flocka are all in the top 25.  Check the top

Weekly Sales 10/7/10

The biggest news this past week in album sales was Lil Wayne’s new EP called I Am Not A Human being.  With Wayne being in Jail and this record having minimal promotion, I am sure people were curious as to what numbers he might move.  Well Wayne hit the charts at number 2 selling 110,000 copies in his first week.  I am not sure if this is considered a success or failure by Wayne and his record label but for no promotion and the album SUCKING balls, I think it is pretty good for Wayne.  Another release that seemed to go under the radar was Gucci Mane’s new album with a single, Gucci Time with Swizz Beatz that hasn’t seem to catch much steam.  Gucci landed at number 4 selling 60,000.  Check the top

A few other releases hit the charts this week in the forms of Lil Boosie and Ice Cube.  I haven’t heard either album so, I can’t really share comments on either but I guess 30K for Boosie is pretty good.  Ice Cube didn’t really seem to have an impact at all.  Oh well, until next week…..

I guess Black Milk’s Album of the Year fell out of the top 200 after just a week.  Damn shame seeing as how he has one of the best albums of the year.  Eminem looks like he will definitely hit triple platinum this year.  I wonder what Lil Weezy’s new(WACK) album, I Am Not A Human Being will sell.  I’m sure he will sell over 100k maybe 200.
