Hip Hop Album Sales: Week Ending 8/5/07

    While the Hip Hop world is busy debating if Common‘s Finding
    Forever
    is a classic or a drink coaster, Geffen’s Chi-town MC is laughing
    his way to the bank regardless as the new #1 spot on the SoundScan chart with
    156k sold in his first week!  Sean Kingston‘s self-titled debut
    also does well in his 1st week at #6 with 75k sold. T.I‘s T.I vs TIP

    with 28k sold (529k total), while Fabolous’ From Nothin to Somethin
    slips down once again from #35 to #37 with 19k sold (379k total).  News
    of  R&B singer R Kelly‘s statutory rape trial may have caused
    his latest album Double Up to drop from #36 to #42 with 17k sold this
    week (793k total).

    Koch record’s Keith Murray debuts at #52 this week with 13k copies of Rapp-Murr-Phobia
