Elsewhere on the chart, Hopsin hops into the Top 50 with his newest project, No Shame, while Kodak Black’s Project Baby 2 reenters the chart at #12, a 116 percent jump from last week.

No Shame In His Game
Hopsin’s new album, No Shame, also hit the chart this week, landing at #42. With 14,921 total album equivalent units sold (8,912 in pure albums and a streaming count of 7,733,454), it was just enough to crack the Top 50. No Shame serves as the 300 Entertainment rapper’s fifth studio album and the follow-up to 2015’s Pound Syndrome, which debuted at #17. So far, Pound Syndrome is his highest-charting album.

Kodak Back
After settling in #43 last week, Kodak Black’s Project Baby 2 mixtape has made a 116 percent jump in sales to land at #12. The Pompano Beach, Florida rapper, who seems to be in the headlines more for his legal woes than his music, sold 31,607 total album equivalent units (1,330 in pure albums and collected a streaming count of 41,343,095) thanks in part to the new deluxe version of the project.
The 20-year-old rapper’s inaugural studio album, Painting Pictures — released in March — peaked at #3. It has since been certified gold by the RIAA.

Anyone know where you can find total number of copies of albums actually sold? Curious to see albums’ actual total number of copies sold.
The stats in bold parenthesis are the equivalent to total albums sold- Albeit from streams. I’m assuming physical sales are counted into that as well
Short answer-
Nobody’s selling shit
Pathetic you boyz ain’t even coming close ! 2k 1k 1500k it’s sad what type of artists are being put out by these wack labels. I think More Life still has more weekly sales.
Yawn. Wake me up when you actually come up with something creative. That was a very lazy attempt at triggering people.
