Beyonce continues to top the Billboard Top 200 chart with her self-titled album, Eminem’s The Marshall Mathers LP 2 jumps back into the Top 3 and Drake’s Nothing Was The Same improves to #16 from last week’s #20 placement.
Beyonce’s Self-Titled Album Continues Reign At #1
Beyonce’s self-titled album continues to top the charts. This week, the album sold 310,270 units and the project has moved 1,301,392 units overall. This week, Beyonce also released a new installment of her art feature, which has been an on-going YouTube video series. Her latest clip, “Liberation,” features Beyonce speaking about sensuality, sexuality and her body. “I was very aware of the fact that I was showing my body,” Beyonce says in the clip, speaking about the music videos for the project. “I was 195 pounds when I gave birth. I lost 65 pounds. I worked crazily to get my body back. I wanted to show my body. I wanted to show that you can have a child and you can work hard and you can get your body back. I know finding my sensuality, getting back into my body and being proud of growing up, it was important to me to express that in this music, because I know there are so many women that feel the same thing after they give birth.”
Eminem’s MMLP2 Lands At #3
Eminem’s most recent release, The Marshall Mathers LP 2, landed in the #3 spot this week. The album sold 122,092 units this week, a figure that helps the project’s overall sales total reach 1,726,763 copies sold. This was an improvement from last week’s #6 ranking for Eminem’s album. Moreover, the week proved successful for Eminem on other fronts as well. Three other Eminem albums also made the Top 200 Billboard chart. Eminem’s Recovery landed at #93, selling more than 10,000 units this week. The Eminem Show landed in the #124 slot, selling more than 8,000 units this week and The Marshall Mathers LP sold more than 7,800 units to land in the #129 spot.
Drake’s Nothing Was The Same Remains In Top 20
Drake’s Nothing Was The Same landed in the #16 spot this week. This was an improvement from last week for Drake, when the Toronto-based rapper earned a #20 showing. This week, Nothing Was The Same sold 48,528 copies. In total, Drake’s most recent release has tallied 1,344,484 units sold. Recently, Drake spoke about his lyrics. “I feel like the music that I write is utilized in life,” Drake said in an interview with Vibe. “It would be tough for me to go in conceptual storytelling. The last great concept album was [Kendrick Lamar’s] good kid, m.A.A.d city—still obviously true to his life but very conceptual. Very specific stories that need to be told. I always say hats off to that album. That album’s incredible, what an undertaking. For me, I would never want to be restricted to that.”

Will Beyonce remain at the top of the charts next week? Stay tuned to HipHopDX.
Notice how all the hate for Eminem quickly died out. Dude outsold your favorite rapper and made selling CDs look easy
i still hate eminem. fuck the sales, drake kills eminem and his album was better.
Nope. Eminem kills Drake and had the better album.
youngsta just admitted to being a hater.
Em moving close to 2 million sales, Kendrick slowly moving and so is Jay Z. Apart from that Hip Hop sales are a disgrace. We claim to love hip hop but don’t buy a single album. If we actually came together and bought these albums Hip Hop will be soo much better than it is now. We complain about having no good hip hop artist out there but we don’t support them. Ironic if you tell me. Oh well Beyonce will stay on top for the coming weeks cause her fanbase support her.
Don’t forget Drake.
Wait for Kendrick’s next album.
Oh yeah can’t forget Drake, hate him or love him he is still shifting those copies. I doubt Kendrick’s album sales will be as good as GKMC.
Sure do wish dental was still around, Harry shut his ass down, funny things happen when a troll gets trolled
Your life must really suck when you start wishing and missing random forum trolls…..I feel sorry for your parents.
who the fuck is harry and what has he down to our precious dentaldamgirl
Ladies & Gentleman, what we have here is a hater in the flesh. Yeezus is that new God flow, that Donda Music. It transcends your typical rap album. Yeezus will challenge you to open the depths of your mind and think, not to mention open your eyes to the ugly truths of this world. It’s beauty, it’s fire, it’s ice. More importantly its not the work of a cornball that idolize me to the point where he jocked my beats (Villmatic, Last Call, etc). What exactly does J Cole wear. He dresses like a burnt out hipster. Whats the name of your clothing line Cole? Its aint Ralph. Whats the name of your clothing line? We dont know
I said i wasnt gonna rant but i need to let this shit out. IM THE MOST IMPACTFUL ARTISTS OF THIS DECADE! I dont give a F— about album sales. Cole album outsold me but it aint Yeezus though. Album sounds like a waterdown version of Drake Take Care. Tell me how this clown always hitting me up for a studio session. J COLE you aint ish. EMINEM album is the closest album that challenges Yeezus. Even tho he SONNED me like all white people do when I asked him to put Big Sean on his album. Chi
Man gtfo, Yeezus is the worst hiphop album in ten years.
Nah, there’s worse albums released.
I call bullshit on Bey’s album selling that much. I mean, her last album didn’t even go plat and she promoted that shit. Now that she came out from nowhere, she is selling boatload of records? BS
dropping without promotion, was a genius long term marketing ploy thats why she’s still selling with high nunmbers also her last album was more throwback music and more r&b, this record got more pop friendly records
Her last album did go platinum.
Why is HipHopDX labeling Beyone, R Kelly, and Justin Timberlake as HipHop?
that shows u how weak the hiphop artist are these only kendrick n drake outta the new school go plat smh
HHDX are Always representing RNB artists. Dont blame them. At hihopdx headquarters working a bunch of morons with no hiphop knowledge at all.
Platinum means nothing, only a few new HipHoppers have gone Platinum since 2006 otherwise it’s been the same old people.
^thats what i was saying bro
Beyonce can’t even catch up with drake sales. HAHAHAHAA!!
she gon surpass him next week brah
she basically did Drakes sales is less than a month with no promo
Yeah but pop sells better than hiphop so NWTS was a blockbuster while Beyonce’s is a disappointment.
The impressive thing is that Katy, Gaga, and Miley had 100x more promo (1000 in the case of gaga) and still sold less than half of beyonces.
Shut up hater. Miley is a hiphop/ R&B artist and therfore doesn’t sell as much. As for Katy and Gaga, fuck them, they make wack ass pop so people stayed away.
Nope. Miley’s a pop artist. So her numbers are disappointing. Beyonce’s album is the real blockbuster, selling more in 3 weeks than other albums other than MMLP2 and The 20/20 Experience.
Drake’s a Fake.
How the fuck does beyonce sell more than drake? Did she buy her own albums or jay Z? That’s the only explanation I can think of.
Answer: her huge fanbase.
Dentalfuckboy, are you an idiot? HELLOOO??? It’s BEYONCE. One of the biggest POP stars in the world. Drake is considered a “rapper,” first of all, even though he does sing. I don’t get how you would think Drake is anywhere near as big as Beyonce. Just think about itAND, Beyonce simply put her album on iTunes with nobody even knowing…
Recovery still selling 10k a week.. wow…
before I looked at the check of $4362, I accept that my brothers friend really erning money part-time on their apple labtop.. there dads buddy started doing this for only about eight months and a short time ago paid for the mortgage on there mini mansion and got a brand new Cadillac. Get your free trail from use this link, Get your free trail from… http://www.WIKI34.COm
we don’t support them. Ironic if you tell me. Oh well Beyonce will stay on top for the coming weeks cause her fanbase support her.
Lupe Fiago cant even go platinum.
you mean gold
You meant wood, right?
Since Eminem sold so much maybe he will let slaughterhouse n yelawolf put out a real hip hop cd each cause both their shady debuts were pop-shit especially slaughterhouse what a fuckin let-down it was unlistenable
SH and Yela said they had creative control. Stop blaming Em for that.
He exec produced both they were full of tracks that could of been on Recovery absolute trash so yea Eminem and interscope are responsible
This will be an interesting year.
I only see one hiphop album- good kid maad city
a few rap bs joints like gotti (slaps too) and 2chainz(of course, wack)
the rest including drake, em, jayz and everyone else is just pop rap
I hold judgement on Gambino until I listen
for most disappointing albums by a legend goes toooooo
Eminem AND jayz come down and collect your award.

SOOOOOO basically Jay Z is still leading in sales…STILL WINNING
A million of those sales don’t count, so no he’s not winning.
He’s still worth half a billion dollars, sold millions of records, a bunch of successful businesses, and has Beyonce as a wife. Hov is still winning regardless.
Doc still buying that duckworth’s trash I see.
Ladies and gentlemen, a bitter hater with terrible music taste. Don’t respond, he’s just a troll.

“Hov is still winning regardless”
Beyonc is a ho who would blow Trick Daddy if he had half a billion in the bank.
Do I smell jealousy? Because even you know that ain’t true.
But Trick Daddy is irrelevant and doesn’t have half a billion dollars.
“she basically did Drakes sales is less than a month with no promo”
She did Kendrick’s numbers in half an hour.
It’s Beyonce.
It’s impossible to sell 1.1 million albums in half an hour.
Defnitly possible…..I Tunes!!!!…
Stripclub music Twerkin!!….talking about cumming on floors waterfalls and shit !!..

Beyonc is selling so much more now that she is white

“Because even you know that ain’t true”
Much like how Bobby Brown corrupted Whitney, Jay Z has corrupted Beyonc. I bet if they divorce, she shacks up with the first rapper she sees at the club with a top ten hit.
Corrupted her how? She’s normal as hell for a superstar. Beyonce ain’t that type of woman to sleep with any bum rapper; that’s Rihanna or Miley you’re talking about. Also, Whitney was fucked up before she met Bobby.
men lie women lie but # dont.but u do jay
jay flop[ppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp
Yet Bobby’s still alive while Whitney continued her downward spiral. Beyonce may not be a drug addict, but she acts ghetto for someone worth that much money.
No, she doesn’t. That’s Rihanna who acts ghetto, not Beyonce. You can’t even back up that statement while getting artists mixed up.
Rihanna is ghetto too, but I was referring to Beyonce. She throws up gang signs, has racier lyrics which she didn’t have before, and just comes off entitled. If she wasn’t married to an arrogant rapper would she be this way? Probably not.
Beyonce’s not like that, you idiot. She’s not coming off as entitled, you’re just hating. You probably think all black women act this way, bigot. Think before you make assumptions that aren’t true. Besides, you have no control over her life and can’t tell her how to be.
You sound like a stalker lol How do you know how Beyonce really is? Her husband is one of the most arrogant dudes out there. You really think Beyonce is nice and humble like when she first started in the biz? Her whole attitude has changed. Does she make good music? Yeah, mostly, but marrying Jay Z has corrupted her.
You sound more like a stalker since you think you know everything about Beyonce and making these bullshit accusations. Unless you got the evidence to back up your lies, then shut the fuck up. There’s rappers who are more arrogant than Jay Z. Beyonce’s attitude hasn’t changed one bit and she hasn’t been corrupted at all. She’s not getting arrested for doing stupid shit, she’s not doing illegal activities, and she sure as hell ain’t sleeping with 10+ niggas unlike some female artists. Don’t be concerned for her, worry about yourself.
You talk about arrogance like it’s a bad thing. Hip-hop is built on arrogance. If you can’t stand it, leave.
Get a grip, lil dude. Getting angry over a chick who will never even bat an eye lash at you lol When she was on Destiny’s Child, she came off fairly innocent. Then when her solo career took off, she changed. No big deal, but she sells sex in everything she does. Granted, sex sells, but she’s a mother now, and had to have her lawyers remove pics of her online from a concert where she looked like an intergalactic prostitute lol
Everything you just said is all a lie.
Beyonce’s not doing anything wrong. You’re making a big deal outta nothing, quotegirl. Besides, there’s female artists who do worse things, focus your sexual anger on them.
“You talk about arrogance like it’s a bad thing”
Not bad, just not something most people respect, like or put up with.
It’s so funny how much you contradict yourself.
Quoteman is pretty arrogant himself
no wonder no one respects you fuckboi LOL
Thank you half a man. I am arrogant.
And that’s why no one respects you in life.
“You’re making a big deal outta nothing, quotegirl”
I was merely giving my opinion, cramp cunt. Clearly you worship Beyonc which while being sad and pathetic, is your choice. Enjoy.
1. Your opinion is shit.
2. I don’t worship anyone. I just enjoy giving you little kids a reality check.
