Albums: Lil Wayne #1, G-Unit #4, Tech N9ne #12
Lil Wayne returns to the top spot on the Billboard 200 album chart.
In the "good thing 50 Cent can pretend to act [and can give expensive gifts to powerful figures in Hollywood]" category:
"G-Unit's sophomore set, 'T.O.S. (Terminate on Sight)'...debuts at No. 4 with 102,000. The crew's 2003's debut album, 'Beg For Mercy,' started at No. 1 with 377,000."
Anybody out there distraced by 50 Cent's plans to sell a million the first week of his next solo release?
It's getting harder to maintain interest, isn't it?
Top 10 Albums on the Billboard 200:
1. Lil Wayne - Tha Carter III
2. Coldplay - Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends
3. Soundtrack - Camp Rock
4. G-Unit - T.O.S. (Terminate on Sight)
5. Where the Light Is: John Mayer Live in Los Angeles
6. Now That's What I Call Music 28
7. Kid Rock - Rock N Roll Jesus
8. Usher - Here I Stand
9. Rihanna - Good Girl Gone Bad
10. Disturbed - Indestructible
Tech N9ne's Killer debuts at no. 12 giving Tech N9ne his "highest charting album and best sales week ever".
You know, with all the hype over album sales I find it interesting that when I surfed on over to the Billboard charts Lil' Wayne's album still isn't certified platinum by the RIAA.
