1. Cam'ron - Killa Season
Unable to upstage The Red Hot Chili Peppers from their #1 staple, Cam'ron settled for the runner-up spot on Billboard 200, making Killa Season the highest selling hip-hop release this week. The Diplomat moved 114,000 units in his opening week.
2. T.I. - King
It's been two months since the release of King, and T.I. is still holding down the sales forte with over 1 million records peddled. The ATLien moved an additional 41,904 discs this past week.
3. Mobb Deep - Blood Money
Mobb Deep has plummeted from #28 to #44 this week, with only 166,000 copies of Blood Money sold. I wonder if this has something to do with Prodigy dissing God on "Pearly Gates."
4. Chamillionaire - The Sound of Revenge
Chamillionaire must be a very happy man right now. His Krayzie Bone-featured single, "Ridin'," is the current #1 single in the country and The Sound of Revenge is now Platinum certifed. The album settles for #27 position this week, with 33,609 discs sold.
5. Dem Franchize Boyz - On Top of Our Game
DFB recently premiered their new single, "Ridin' Rims" on B.E.T. The Boyz will definitely need more than a hot new single to push their album sales, which sits at 12,729 for this week.
6. LL Cool J - Todd Smith
Uncle LL is still finding it tough to control the sales, moving 11,000 units and dropping to #85 this week. After 6 weeks, sales for Todd Smith is still under the 300,000 units mark.
7. Bubba Sparxxx - The Charm
Bubba Sparxxx is just ahead of LL on #84, with 11,839 units sold this week. The Charm, which reached #9 on Billboard 200, has now moved 160,653 units.
8. Sean Paul - Trinity
Sean Paul and newly Platinum-ized album clocked in at 21,654 units. Mr. Paul hangs onto #48 this week.
9. Ghostface Killah - FishScale
Not even a remix featuring Kanye West could help work the magic for Ghostface. FishScale has now moved 235,701 uits.
10. Lil' Wayne - Tha Carter II
New Orleans flagbearer, Lil Wayne, is still going strong after 24 weeks. Weezy's numbers for Tha Carter II now sits at 939,624.
