Rap Albums on The Billboard Charts

Nicki Minaj is untop with her Pink Friday debut album this week- that is, she has the highest selling rap album for the week, although i wont fully call her album a full rap album...too much pop in the mix, but i guess that is how it goes nowadays. Anyway, pink friday sold 39,000 copies this week, and it is now at a total of 890, 000. She would probably go platinum in about 4 weeks from now.

Eventhough Kanye West and Eminem both released albums last year, em's album was released far earlier than Mr West's album, but they moved the same units this week- 33,000 copies individually. Eminem's Recovery album is now at a grand total of 3, 348, 000 copies so far, and My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is at 915,000 total.

T.T is presently in jail for obstructing parole, but that isn't stopping him from making some money. His latest album, NO MERCY, sold 19,000 copies this week, bringing the total to 353,000 copies.

I Am Not A Human Being by Lil Wayne has sold a grand total of 680,000 copies, and it moved 15,000 copies this week. Diddy's Dirty Money album, Last Train To Paris sold 11,000 copies this week, and is now at a total of 172,000 copies. Unfortunatley, Ghostface Killa's album, Apollo Kids is not doing so well on the charts. It sold 3,800 copies this week, and now at a total of 23,000 copies. Lloyd Banks is still slugging it out on the charts, and his latest album sold 2,600 copies this week-The Hunger For More 2 is now at a total of 82,000 sold.
