Weekly Hip-Hop Billboard Update
This week is by far our worst overall week in the top 100 since I’ve been reporting the billboard chart to you. But with 2 albums in the top 5, why complain? Black Eye’d Peas dropped to #2 in their second week, to the Jonas Bros new album release. Eminem is still sitting strong at #4 and has already sold over 1 million copies. Not a suprise really! At any rate, these two pretty much sit at the top alone. The closest hip-hop artist to Eminem on the Billboard 200 is Mos Def, at #29. Then we have to go 35 positions down the list to get our #4, which is Rick Ross at # 64. Method Man & Redman close out our top 5 this week at #70. Pretty Ugly…Let’s just hope it doesn’t get any worse!
