Top 5 Billboard 200 Rap Update: March 17th
With the way things were looking last week, I knew there would be a change or 2 this week but nothing significant. We have a new leader this week and I believe that it is due to the fact that T.I. has a TV show right now where he is helping kids that are leading bad lifestyles, and literally, if you turn to MTV at any given time of the day, one of his reruns are on, so it has been keeping his album sales up there as it should! Even though the change is only one position, Paper Trail is our new leader at #10, with 808’s and Heartbreak right behind him at #11. Tha Carter III is still juggling in the 30’s at #31 this week. Ludacris unexpectingly fell out of the top 5, so that puts Da Realist at #55 this week, and one new face into our top 5, with iSouljaBoyTellem coming in at #62. Things are FINALLY starting to shake up a bit. Only time will tell though!
# 10 T.I. - Paper Trail 
# 11 Kanye West - 808’s and Heartbreak 
# 31 Lil Wayne - Tha Carter III 
# 55 Plies - Da REAList 
# 62 Soulja Boy Tell’em - iSouljaBoyTellem
