Debuting on the Hip-Hop Charts at No. 3 this week is Young Dro. The ATLien responsible for the hit "Shoulder Lean" has dominated the top of the rap charts with some help of T.I, taking Best Thang Smokin' to 104,000 copies in its first week.

Four seats below is Outkast, taking the No. 7 seat this week. Big Boi and Andre are still on the grind for Idlewild this week, pressing out 78,100 units. After 2 weeks going, the ATL MCs are keeping the charts wild, with 274,700 CDs sold.

Debuting on the charts this week is Method Man taking the No. 8 seat with 4:21...The Day After. "Say," the lead single, has just barely kept Meth's latest effort in the swing of things. However, the Def Jam rap veteran, is still representing for The Wu, landing in the top ten with 62,300 discs sold.

Also debuting on the Hip-Hop Charts for Def Jam this week is The Roots, taking down No. 9 this week. The Def Jam reps have Philly on lock as Game Theory has built enough clout to lock down the top ten. Their lead single, "Don't Feel Right," has rounded off the digits for their latest LP to 61,200.

Slightly slipping to No. 13 this week is Rick Ross. The rapper from the M.I.A has pushed 366,700 after 4 weeks going, as the week-in total for Port of Miami has finished off at 42,300.

Too Short's new album, Blow The Whistle debuts at No. 14 this week. "Blow the Whistle," the new single from the West Coast gangsta rapper which was produced by Lil Jon, has taken the album of the same name to 40,100 in its first week.

Moving up two spots to No. 15 this week is Gnarls Barkley's St Elsewhere. The duo is still getting it in after 16 weeks, breezing through the rap competition with 855,400 discs sold thus far. This week, Danger Mouse and Cee Lo have made off with 39,100 units.

Next up is Yung Joc's New Joc City, taking the No. 29 slot this week. After 13 weeks on the move, the Bad Boy recording artist has continued to put it down for the ATL, representing with 663,800 CDs sold to date. The 7-day cycle has ended at 27,900.

Skydiving thirty-four positions this week is Obie Trice, breaking his tragic fall at No. 64. Second Round's on Me has fallen game to the rap race this week, moving only 15,300 copies. After 3 weeks, Trice has lost the second round, sitting at a slow 117,200 units in total.

Debuting on the charts this week is Beenie Man taking No. 65 with Undisputed. The new single, "Hmm Hmm" has barely made a sound on the Hip-Hop Charts, taking Beenie to a quiet 15,000 in the first week.

In closing, Pharrell is no longer "Number One," DMX needs a sign, T.I.'s clout is in the clouds, and Busta touches the bottom of the charts. This week, Pharrell has hit up. No. 66, with 14,900 copies sold. After 6 weeks, In My Mind has moved a slow 281,600 discs. Tumbling thirty-one slots to No. 80 this week is DMX.

Not moving an inch at No. 89 this week is T.I. The newly released single, "Live in the Sky," features Jamie Foxx, and has contributed to the 11,400 discs sold this week. To date, King has finished off with 1,464,300 units sold. Taking the No. 93 seat this week is Busta Rhymes. The Brooklynite has fallen seventeen seats this week, bringing The Big Bang to the bottom with 10,500 discs pushed. In total, Busta has banged it out with 516,000 units sold after 11 weeks

no one really buys records

[RoadRunner]

Seems like records are down a good amount in recent years.. Which is why you see record promoters scrambling trying forum new ideas to gain extra sales in areas they might not of dug into... Promoters are surely a bigger part in gettin record percentages up then in earlier years...
