December 4 Sales Rundown
A shitload of Hip-Hop albums dropped last Tuesday so I figured I do a little rundown of sales figures. It goes Artist, Album title, Sales, Chart position for you smart dumb cats.
Scarface M.A.D.E. 63,084 #17 (Dope album, nice debut #’s, congrats to Face)
DJ Drama Gangsta Grillz: The Album 48,848 #26 (I’m surprised he sold this well after all of the drama, pun intended)
Wyclef Jean Carnival 2: Memoirs Of An Immigrant 46,519 #28 (Again, these numbers are surprising. What was his single again?)
Ghostface Big Doe Rehab 35,671 #41 (Sounds about right for Ghost in this day and age)
Styles P Super Gangster (Extraordinary Gentleman) 29,047 #52 (This ain’t bad at all for a Koch release.)
2Pac Thug 22,539 #65 Life 18,943 #77 (Lesane can still make 19,000 people get off their asses and pay for a bunch of songs they owned 10 years ago.)
Too $hort Get Off The Stage 8,101 #160 (I seriously thought I was the only one who new $hort was dropping last week.)
Next week we’ll see how Beans, Wu and Hi-Tek do.

Wu-Tang’s album will definitely beat Ghostface’s album in terms of sales, but it would be much more interesting (to me at least) if it didn’t.
