Chris Brown continued to enjoy his F.A.M.E. The Jive Records release approaches the 500,000 benchmark, on an album that features emcees Ludacris, Busta Rhymes and Tyga. The Pop sensation is likely to reach that mark next week.
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania emcee Wiz Khalifa‘s major label debut, Rolling Papers sold another 34,000 units after a month in stores. The album, which features Too Short and Curren$y, slipped out of the Top 10, and joins Lupe Fiasco’s Lasers as part of Atlantic Records’ commercial comeback in Hip Hop this year, following success with B.o.B. in 2010.
Climbing a spot to #16, Rihanna’s Loud pushes well past platinum. Bruno Mars’ debut approaches platinum, as Doo-Wops & Holligans gained an impressive 10 spots this week.
With their second album in 14 months, the Gorillaz struck a Top 25 debut in Fall. A follow-up to 2010’s Plastic Beach, the animated band’s latest work on EMI/Virgin Records features PB session musicians Bobby Womack and The Clash’s Mick Jones and Paul Simonon.

folks sleepin on that IANAHB album its on the carter series level to me
you can google that shit b..why u trippin off album sales anyways?….how much a nigga sells aint putting money in your pocket
“folks sleepin on that IANAHB album its on the carter series level to me”
Evidently not if its selling…
Stop putting Bruno and Rihanna on there they are not Hip Hop. Put back Nicki, Em and Wayne instead.
They aren’t hip hop either.
Ofcourse they are.
WTF 7,500 damn camwrong and vado did sheek louch numbers thats horrible. A non famous person could sell more than that. Vado should have went dolo cam’s wack ass made people not want to touch it
Yeah, I dont understand how “Hey Muma” didnt push this album to platinum in one week numbers?
Lol I was thinkin the same thing.. Sheek cant sell an album to save his life.. Neither can dipset..
Damn Mac im impressed 60,000 for an ep which only has like 5 songs half of which were already released for free. thats triple soulja boys last studio album. I could see macs major label debut landing in the 500,000 – 1.5 mil range if he works some more on his lyrics, gets some major promotion from his label and I want to hear him on some kanye production.
mac miller is doin his thang!
AH DX hear me NO MORE RIHANNA AND EMINEM
week 44
33 Recovery – Eminem 17.000
and you buy 6 copies every week. foh.
Who wouldve thought one of the sandlot kids could grow up to have one of the top selling hip hop albums in the nation. Congrats Mac Miller and happy 45th birthday man!
ROCNATION ROC-A-FELLA
WATCH THE THRONE
ha!, okay there bud
Wow.. Anyone else really impressed with the Mac Miller numbers?
Think about it, that’s like a 6 song EP that he sold 60k off of. That shit is impressive as fuck. Rostrum Records really know wtf they’re doing, they’re starting to be this generations indie equivalent of Rhymesayers.
Im always happy when peoples dreams come true. Keep doing you Mac.
That’s big, man. I wish more people would be happy for people rather than hate on them. If you don’t like the music, that’s fine. But, shut the fuck up with the whinning. I’m happy for anyone doin well in music that respects the art. I feel Mac does, so far….
I was gonna say the same thing! I don’t listen to Mac Miller but I appreciate how hard he grinds. To see him do 60k off an internet EP is good for hip hop.
Is Mac Miller really from that movie The Sandlot, lol that was a classic but honestly the man is wack! I can’t believe how easy it is to become a rapper now a days, so all I need is a gimmick and hot beats and the fans will eat it up??? Sign me up because ain’t no other jobs hiring!
Basically…You can search the web and download other producers beats/classic 90s beats to gain “credibility” with the hip hop crowd. And then boom, youre a star. It doesnt hurt to be jewish either.
$WonDough$ is gonna move units one way or another
what happened to Snoop? that record is bangin
What are the numbers for that Daz album?
ti album came out in 20101?…damn
Too bad W.A.R. did do well as atmostphere album.
You cant even find the WAR album anywhere…Ive been trying to pick it up at best buy but have never seen it in there. Gonna have to finally break down and order it from the net.
Why don’t you just buy it on Itunes or Zune and burn it to a blank CD?
Im old school…If Im buying an album I prefer to have a physical copy of the album. Ill take it and rip the cd to my zune later but I dont really like buying mp3s unless its an album thats not in print or impossible to find.
dumbfuck its called google, type the name of the cd and buy a copy,,,fucking idiot this is the 21st godamm century, nobody goes to stores, online shopping
I know where to find the album dipshit…Its the principle behind it. I dont feel I should have to only be limited to finding my music from Best Buy/Target and any other major chain. You used to have cd stores that carried every cd available. Im not a fan of the major chains being the only place you can drive to to find music these days. So I wait a little longer to see if the cd actually shows up there and if not…I hop on amazon and buy it.
anonymous stop hating on going to an actual store to purchase a physical copy of a cd that is old school and there is a principle behind it. MOST real rap can’t be found in this big mainstream chain stores they only sell what they major labels want them too, I GOT MAD RESPECT for this dude goin out to cop legitimate music the old school way fuckin technologies turnin half of america into god damn zombies
Where the fuck is lupe at? He shouldn’t have fell off the charts already.
He should. Do you want that his worst ‘I’m a slave of Atlantic and suck my A&R’s dick off’ album becomes his best selling record to date?
well damm
he didn’t hhdx is snubbing him, he sold 13k this week

Mac Miller
YO MAC..LET ME WRITE YOUR RAPS PLAY BOY
Yo fif! I got that for you (licks lips)
Yayo- Quit hoggin the cock my nig.
Lol ya’ll fools kill me talking bout being happy for another dude, if he’s wack he’s wack thats all there is to it. I ain’t got nothing to do with these wack ass Sesame street rappers, I judge them on their music and thats it!
Yeah, the standards in hip hop for whats good and whats not have dipped so far that people will give props to anything these days.
That’s it. Average shit gets praised like it redefined genre standards. People need to calm down and rate shit on what it is and not under any circumstance. LMAO when someone says, not so good but still better than % of that shit out there. When it’s whack, it’s whack. Stop that damn searching for excuses.
WOW!!
DJ Quick 9,800 / Wack Miller 60,000
HIP HOP IS DEAD!!!!
lol
All you ppl saying Mac Miller was in the movie “The Sandlot” are retarded. The movie came out in 1993 which means it was filmed in 1992.
Mac Miller was born in 1992.

@ Mac Miller and @ I beat up gay people
your both fags
Hey buddy, why all the negative emotions? Why can’t you just ignore the negativity and find a more passionate way to express yourself? Myself, personally I like to sit in a gold plated hot tub and pour candle wax on my shoulders while the air jets gently suck my penis in and out, in and out. Its very soothing after a long show or tour. And after I get done I’ll write a couple haiku’s on my back porch under the moon while sipping an ice cold glass of cheuvegne French wine. You just have to find a better way to vent my friend. Please please please stop using the F word too. It does nothing but hurt people.
Yours truly,
Atmosphere
Dat Cam n Vado album is fire idk WTF this website or these lames on it is talking bout??? Hot beats,Lyrics and Swag = Gunz n Butta… NY ALL FUCKING DAY WE RUN THIS RAP SHIT…

True say, real artists will never get a good chance under the state of the industry as of present.

All these lames floppin cuz they suck BIG SWEATY VINEGARY BALLS! Even Eminem flopped! When Lil B releases his very RARE and LEGENDARY CLASSIC LP “I’m Gay” the world will change and Jesus Christ will return! LIL B is by FAR the best rapper in the industry since Tupac & Biggie! “I’m Gay” will sell 1,000,000 copies EASILY by the first week and reachin DIAMOND by 2012. It has been PROPHECISED!! LIL B 4 PRESIDENT 2012!
alright, fuck all that other noise, but i would like to know just exactly how eminem flopped at almost 4 million albums sold, in an age where people download singles and download them for free, that 4 million would be considered a flop? just sayin
OMG, my sides are hurting from laughing so hard!
Don’t tell me you’re one of those “trolls”, like that Gucci and that Bawse troll…
damn m*thaf*ckas betta pick up a basketball or sumthin cuz this rap shit aint working out…..
Unless you are a megastar, like Jay-Z or Eminem the only way you are going to make money from album sales are from being indie, merchandise or tours, that is all.
