We only have one high profile Hip-Hop debut this week. Travis Barker‘s solo debut Give The Drummer Some lands at #9 on the charts this week and sells around 28,000 units. Not too bad; it matches the album quality. You can check out my review of Give The Drummer Some here.
This week we also saw Lupe Fiasco‘s Lasers take a huge drop in sales from his chart debut last week but he still held on to the #3 spot. Raekwon‘s Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang had an even bigger drop going from #12 last week to #46 this week.
Also, it looks like album from Bruno Mars (Doo-Wops & Hooligans) and Lil’ Wayne (I Am Not A Human Being) keep hanging around and may surprisingly one day cross the one million marks.
