The Numbers Game: Notorious Debuts At #4

notoriousnumbersgame012109

Not only did the soundtrack to the movie Notorious take the #4 spot on the album charts, the movie itself also took #4 at the box office (It grossed around 20 million dollars). Well, I guess thats not too bad. Of course we all wanted it to do better but then again it could have been a lot worse (Especially for a soundtrack). In other charts news we see a guy who doing a lot of work in Hollywood; Ludacris. His new album Theater Of The Mind may have not been at the top of the charts but it still went Gold in 8 weeks (In my eyes, the new Platinum for rappers).

Not a lot of movement this week but at least we got a Hip-Hop debut in the Top 50.
