This week, the Grammys continued to impact the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart. 2014 Grammy Nominees, a compilation album, remained in the Top 2. Kendrick Lamar and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis also saw gains this week, likely in part due to their Grammy Awards nominations and their performances. Elsewhere, Andy Mineo placed in the Top 15 with his Never Land EP and Isaiah Rashad landed in the Top 40 with his Cilvia Demo.
2014 Grammy Nominees Remains #2
This week, just like last week, the 2014 Grammy Nominees compilation album remains in the #2 spot. The compilation project sold 87,171 copies this week, a 47 percent increase from the 59,314 units it sold last week. Overall, the album has sold 146,732 units in its two weeks of availability. Beyonce, who performed at the Grammys, fell to the #5 spot from her #4 position last week, but her sales were steady with a 0 percent change. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, winners of four Grammy Awards, saw a 62 percent increase in sales from 18,090 last week to 29,335 copies sold this week. Meanwhile, Kendrick Lamar, who also performed at the Grammys, saw an 81 percent increase in sales from 8,185 last week to 14,805 copies sold this week. Overall, Lamar has sold 1,165,667 units of his good kid, m.A.A.d. city album.
Andy Mineo’s Never Land EP Lands At #13
Andy Mineo, who categorizes himself as a Christian rapper, landed in the #13 spot this week with his Never Land EP. The project sold 25,931 units in its first week of availability. Mineo made headlines in January when he criticized other rappers who are Christian. “I hope people listen to the music,” he said during an interview with MTV. “Don’t write it off because there is a Christian doing it and it’s been labeled that way, because if I’m honest with you, Christian rap for the most part has been corny.” Soon after, Mineo wrote an apologetic letter on Facebook. “I definitely could have chosen my words more carefully to consider my audience better in this interview,” Mineo wrote. “I’m learning. My apologies go out to anyone who may be offended by some of my statements on air. I appreciate those that have taken the time to call out error in love. Pray for me as I continue to grow and learn to be an effective missionary in hip hop culture.”
Isaiah Rashad’s Cilvia Demo Strikes At #40
Isaiah Rashad’s TDE debut release, Cilvia Demo, landed in the #40 slot this week. The project sold 8,534 copies in its first week of sales. Cilvia Demo received a 4 out of 5 X rating in its HipHopDX review. “One BET Hip Hop Awards Cypher rhyme is all it took to catapult Chattanooga, Tennessee native Isaiah Rashad into the mainstream consciousness,” HipHopDX said of the album. “Ultimately though, it was not a case of what he said, but who he said it with—appearing alongside the rising in Rap prominence, Top Dawg Entertainment crew—that mattered. However, it’s in recalling the moments that made us initially love another rapper (with a government name similar to Rashad’s) once known by two names—Common Sense—that makes his 14-track debut Cilvia Demo a hopeful sign for more intriguing and insightful material to come.”

I’m rocking that Macklemore & Ryan Lewis all day, every day! Real Hip Hop artists promoting that REAL Hip Hop lifestyle!
Speaking of LIfestyles, can anyone lone me one? I got a hot date with a dude….but he dressed like a lady, so it’s all good in my hood!
There’s nothing gay about 2 men kissing on the lips, Wayne & Baby do it all the time, it’s just natural.
Valentine’s Day coming up soon, homies remember your homies! They’ve be down with you since Day 1! Turn the lights low, flip on the Macklemore & Lewis, and show the love! Sexual fellatio with another dude don’t make you gay, it’s totally ok.
something tells me this was suppose to be a joke.
@Drake Fan: 2 men kissing has to be between a father and a son or brothers. Macklemore and ryan lewis are friends so they are gay. Birdman is wayne’s stepfather so they can kiss and not bee gay.
it’s MISTER, not MR. nice try though
No, it is acceptable now a days to kiss another man on the lips, there’s no harm in it & it doesn’t make you gay, Macklemore & Lewis aren’t gay they just like to kiss & hold each other a little, my friends do that stuff all the time.
Also, already got a box of chocolates & some Michael Jordan Valentines for my friends. Gonna hang with them all day & dance to some Drake, don’t care for Macklemore much. When me & the fellas get together we like to have dance offs & we only bump Drake.
My friends are girls of course.
^ Hey pal, I didn’t write that, my friends are all males, we just like to dance & sometime we kiss a little & rub on each other, you know just slightly rub each others thighs & stuff, nothing gay though.
Too many faggots here.
Uh, that’s being gay. No problem with being gay but you need to stop denying yourself. Kissing and rubbing each other is gay.
A whole lotta faggots here.
No way bro, my friends do it all the time, we don’t jerk each other off or any of that, just some kissing & heavy “patting”, it’s really not gay man.
Y’all niggas are gay.
You guys are crazy, you don’t kiss your friends? or just hug for a while a kiss a little?
Just for curiousity sake, where do you live? In france or something?
Toronto
Drake Fan’s right, ain’t nuthing wrong with getting your rub on with another dude, as long as you pretend it’s a REAL HipHop rapper (like a Macklemore & Lewis, Drake, Weezy, Birdman, etc) while you listen to some classic HipHop music (“Same Love” or “Started from his Bottom”. From Hollywood to tha Hood, real HipHop fans support Mackelmore & Lewis!
Who the fuck buys a grammy CD?
More of them than those that buy dj khaled, tyga, bitch gang, ace wood.
that grammy cd sold more than all of those bums and none of them were on it. i dont see a correlation between them
LOL, I know but that isn’t saying much
MMLP1 still selling like crazy lol. It will go 11x plat soon!
Em be selling like a mofo smh! Be sure to checkout thegrandreport, they have some good hip hop and viral videos on there
EM will go double plat in a month and a half or so
How much has 7 Days of Funk’s album sold?
7 days worth
i was wonderin the same thing, that’s a quality project there
Expect Drakes sales to soar now that him & Manziel are back together, there are a lot of A&M fans who stopped supporting Drake when they broke up. Plus Johnny is going to be drafted by an NFL team soon so Drake will have all of those fans jumping on board as well. What a fucking power couple.
Whoops, I meant macklemore and ryan lewis.
I swear these people on here sometimes, Sure Macklemore & Ryan Lewis are a good couple too but no where near the star power of Drake & Manziel, he’s a stud QB & Drake is one of the top Pop artists there is.
Im making over $7k a month working part time. I kept hearing other people tell me how much money they can make online so I decided to look into it. Well, it was all true and has totally changed my life. This is what I do,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, http://WWW.Works6.com
I can’t wait for the new cb4 album
Cb4 for life
Clivia Demo is bangin. I should buy that and support TDE
Not too many rappers still selling steady over a year after the album came out. Kendrick and Macklemore have been on these lists since they albums came out. Most niggas fall off after 1 or 2 months.
true that..
Yet Kendrick’s overall sales are lower than expected.
No, they’re not. Lower than expected would be if he didn’t even sell 200,000 overall.
Yet it took k dot 8 months to go platinum which drake did in 4 weekss.
Doesn’t matter. Kendrick still has the better album that still went platinum. Besides, Drake is a pop rapper, so of course his shit will sell more.
Bitch above’s me caught feelings. I said drake sold more and he goes crazy.
No one caught feelings at all. I just stated facts. In fact, YOU caught feelings about my comments.
nigga fuck kendrick. he a sellout cause he sold his soul to tha devil for fortune, money and fame. just like 98% of the mainstream rappers. they all fake, FUCK em all. UNDERGROUND FOR MUTHAFUCKIN LIFE!!!!!!!!!!
#ESGN
Lol, so are all the mainstream rappers fake or are there 2% that’s real? Make up your mind.
Getting sensual with other men is gay no matter what.
It’s not sensual, it’s just a kiss, you don’t kiss your friends on the lips? I do it all the time, sometimes we just lay & spoon, there’s nothing gay about it. Do you ever hold you friends hands or cuddle a little while watching a movie?
Me and my close friends give ourselves hand jobs in the hot tub. It’s not gay unless they penetrate your butt.
Now that I would consider gay, we never touch wieners, sometimes we look at each other naked but never anything gay.
Sword fights in the pisser is cool though right? We do that all the time.
If your friends are girls, thats not gay. Men cuddling is gay. Sword fights are also gay. You may be bisexual (liking both women and men)
My friends are men & IT’S NOT GAY TO SNUGGLE WITH YOUR FRIENDS! I guess we are just closer than you & your friends, we hold hands almost all of the time.
eminem will end at double plat sadly wont even sell what that relapse garbage did which i believe went triple platnum
Relapse sold 2 mln in a whole year after its release.
I love male butthole
I love weiners
ZOMG! I love dick & butt more than anything
my hotdog has a first name, it’s O-S-C-A-R
“that grammy cd sold more than all of those bums and none of them were on it. i dont see a correlation between them”
Ace Hood turned down the chance to be on the grammy album. He wanted to swear, and they said no so he said fuck you.
That phony story makes no sense since the Grammys only put award-nominated artists on their albums and Ace Hood has no Grammy nominations.
Buggati was a secret nominee for best rap song.
No, it wasn’t.
Ace Hood showed me his letter of notification that he was a nominee for best rap song.
You made that up. You’re either nominated for a Grammy or you’re not, no ifs, ands, or buts. It’s a well-known fact that Ace Hood does not have a Grammy nomination. You can make up all the stories you want, but it’s not gonna get Ace a Grammy nomination.
Good to see there are a few Black Americans on the HipHop charts, not many but still a few.
god damn I know Isaiah Rashad got a nice check from those sales
Joking, right?
Why is Jay Z considered hiphop? He’s a pop artist, doing pop songs with beyonce all the time.
He raps and makes hip-hop music, nuff said.
There are pop rappers. He’s like pitbull.
Unless Jay Z is rapping over dance beats, he ain’t like Pitbull.
Holy grail is a dance wack ass pop song.
Holy Grail’s not a dance/pop song. It’s definitely a hip-hop song with JT being the only pop thing in it.
Holy Grail does not sound like dance pop.
I was in the club when people were dancing to that song.
Doesn’t make it a dance song.
Yes it does, or are you too busy sucking your boyfriend’s dick.
It doesn’t.
lol @ i was in the club when they was dancing to that song so its not Hip-Hop…you do realise how stupid you sound right now.
So any song that plays in the club is not hip-hop? Good logic. (sarcasm)
I mean 4 real who gives a fuck how much a muthafucka sells ! ! what really matters is if whoever da fuck is on da album is spittin sum real shit front ta back nigga!! ! i mean i like sum a ems shit but more den half of his shit idont like i mean yu tryin to impress catz wit sum record sales? nigga get da fuck outta here
First of all Beyonce is at Number 4. Secondly I dont know whether she constitutes as hip hop
is this your first time on this website?
DX just does a lot of articles on White artists to gain traffic, you’ll see a lot of Beyonce stuff on here but not a lot of Black singers.
I love hot dawgs because they go between the bun, but not actually inside. You feel me? Also, you don’t get the calories if you just lick the dawg but not swallow. No homo.
Big fan of your work man
Lol I can’t wait to the new cb4 album
Cb4 for life I can’t wait
old ass joke
“Ace Hood has no Grammy nominations”
He’s actually had fifteen, but it’s kept a secret on Hood’s request.
LOL cmon son.
if he won a grammy he might be able to get a real rolex that doesnt fall apart on the red carpet at the BET awards
Nope. Ace Hood has zero Grammys and zero nominations.
That rolex was fake because people will try and steal the real one. The real rolex is back at ace’s crib.
Keep making excuses.
Your hate is clouding your judgement. Ace Hood is a dope rapper with metaphors and classic lyrics.
I ain’t hating, you’re just dickriding. Besides, Ace Hood’s a terrible, bland rapper who sounds like every other Southern rapper out there. Metaphors and classic lyrics? Where? Show me an example of those from Ace Hood.
First, show me an example from 50.
Why did you randomly bring up 50 Cent? He has nothing to do with this.
I said show me an example from 50. I brought him up because ace hood is friends with dj khaled, who’s friends with ross which you hate but prefer dickriding 50.
Again, 50 has nothing to do with this. I’m not dickriding anyone, you are. I don’t even like 50 Cent at all. You only bring him up because you have nothing useful to say and is just reaching.
Yet you bring rozay up in a 50 article that has nothing to do with him.
I never did that. You’re just making up bullshit and wasting your own time.
Show me some comments on a 50 article where Ross was randomly brought up. Show me the name of the article and the comments.
I just want my music heard thats all, im not looking for no record deal, getting famous ‘r anything like that.! so please just spare a few sec. to check me out, & if you like what you heard please SUBSCRIBE so ill know you actually listen & support

“if he won a grammy he might be able to get a real rolex that doesnt fall apart on the red carpet at the BET awards”
He had actually borrowed Kendrick’s watch that night.
Nah. That was French Montana’s watch.
Look out for Dj Scream’s new album soon. Should be dope.
8,500 copies for isaiah is impressive considering he’s a no name artist. Sigh… the backing of TDE
Nope. Not at all. DJ Khaled sold more than him.
It is impressive.
Damn right it is. DJ Khaled selling more than him.
Nope. Isaiah’s numbers are impressive for a new artist. Besides, you can’t compare him to Khaled at all.
8,000 is a bomb for anyone. French Montana sold way more than him the 1st time yet you said he was a bomb. Hating much?
Wrong. For a new artist like Isaiah who just came into the scene as a no-name, those are pretty impressive numbers. French Montana, however, had a bunch of big-name collaborations and a lot of hype and bombed.Quit being a dickrider.
At least French is getting his album out while kidd kidd can’t. If his own boss is struggling, kidd kidd’s success suffers. French is doing fine. Isaiah is bombing unless his album costs zero dollars to make.
Who’s Kidd Kidd? And no, French ain’t doing fine. Considering that his first release is an EP where he didn’t get any big names and doesn’t have a lot of hype, Isaiah’s doing fine.
YOu know who kidd kidd is. An artist on g unit, the label you dickride.
I never dickride G-Unit at all. You can’t even back that up. Not everyone who doesn’t like your favorite rappers are G-Unit fans.
Yeah you do. You keep saying officer ricky on rick ross articles, a term made up by 50 cent. You complain that rick ross pushed an album back by 3 months when 50’s been pushing his album back for 4 years now.
No, I don’t. People been calling him Officer Ricky before 50 called him that. And I didn’t complain about shit. You’re just dickriding Ross while bashing 50 Cent when he has nothing to do with anything.
some of y’all stupid as fuck isaiah rashad’s album got no buzz and it was meant that way, this is a great start for him and y’all comparing him to hip-hop joke ass rappers who get their shit on the radio? are you fuckin serious, of course they’ll sell thousands and thousands right off the gate
I was being serious when I made this post. It’s impressive.
The G Unit Groupies are coming, dickriding 50 and his irrelevant artists.
I don’t see any G-Unit groupies here. I do, however, see an We The Best groupie dickriding Khaled and Ace Hood.
That’s because g unit groupies are too busy riding 50’s dick to notice even themselves, let alone others.
You just got ethered and the only thing you can do is accuse people of being G-Unit fans when that’s not true.
“That’s because g unit groupies are too busy riding 50’s dick to notice even themselves, let alone others.”
For the last time, there are no G-Unit groupies. They don’t exist.
G Unit Groupies are delusional and think they are the only dickriders. You’re the ones getting ethered.
No one on here is a G-Unit groupie. No one even mentioned them besides you. You only bring them up because you clearly are getting ethered and have no valid arguments.
COme on, you think 50 cent is dope, or at least you think he’s better than ross. You’re too busy dickriding them when he doesn’t know you exist. At the same time, rick ross doesn’t care about your hate for him as he cares about the ones that like his music.
I don’t even like 50 Cent at all. I think he’s wack just like Rick Ross. They both can suck a dick. I didn’t dickride 50 Cent at all. Meanwhile, YOU dickride Rick Ross while he doesn’t give a shit about you and only cares about money.
Liar. You dickride 50 up to the point where you quote his lines into your responses like sucking a dick line from that adam levine, 50, and eminem flop, my life. Rick Ross treats his fans well on concerts. He even gave a lady a drink at the jerry springer party.
You’re the liar here. I didn’t dickride 50 and people been saying “suck a dick” for a long time, it’s not a new phrase (BTW. that song wasn’t a flop). And Ross doesn’t treat his fans well, he doesn’t even care about them. To him, they’re just walking paychecks. That last sentence is a lie like everything else you say.
HHDX posted that jerry springer party video up. Oh and saying that the 50 song, my life, isn’t a flop when it is proves you’re a dickrider. Ross helps fans out and does tours. He films his life to keep his fans happy.
That video didn’t prove anything. Me saying that the 50 song didn’t flop doesn’t make me a dickrider, I stated a fact. Ross does not help his fans at all, he only helps himself. He films his life to make himself happy. Ross is only out for himself.
You gotta love how the one idiotic troll thinks everyone that doesn’t share his music taste is a fan of 50 Cent and G-Unit. LOL he’s a sad kid.
Correlation studies have shown that mmg haters are groupie unit stans.
Nope. That’s just bullshit you made up. Everyone have different music taste. Not everyone that doesn’t like MMG are G-Unit fans. There are people who don’t like both of them, me included.
Another thing, g unit dickriders also dickride eminem and dr dre, since 50 cent’s signed to them.
Another lie you made up.
What’s the whole rick ross vs 50 cent origin?
Ross was sad that his idol 50 didnt want to give him an autograph and take a picture with him at the BET awards so he decided to diss a guy he didn’t even know and never met before and talk about his childs mother.
William was mad that Curtis wasn’t sexually attracted to him & the feud began.
So that’s where that troll got the idea that people that don’t like MMG are G Unit stans.
The origin of the beef started with DJ Khaled dissing GRODT on Rap City and then it built a life of its own.
Khaled was jealous that his 7 albums total couldnt sell more than Curtis
“He even gave a lady a drink at the jerry springer party.”
He probably drugged it without her knowing.
If u bought any album on that list above apart from Eminem Kendrick or isaiah u a fuckin lame bitch
Cilvia is dope as hell
Do you guys ever just dance all night with your pals?
With girls yes, never with other guys.
Oh, really? me & my male friends do it all the time, we were practicing twerking the other night & had a twerk off, it was damn fun.
That’s suspect.
“Isaiah’s doing fine”
Depends how high or low he set the bar for himself. 85,000 1st week isn’t great. Montana flopped, I’ll give you that, but at least he had a platinum single. That’s about the only reason why he’s still around.
A platinum single from 2012 that had help from Wayne and Drake.
Who cares who he had help from. It was still his album, and name up front.
Which still flopped.
At least it came out. Ask Fif if his album is coming out anytime soon after 4 years lol
Still bringing up 50 Cent when this has nothing to do with him. You’re basically reaching because you have nothing.
Correction. He has a platinum single which is more than 50 has had in years. Enjoy that fact.
these guys are hilarious. always got 50 on there mind. apparently anyone who laughs at any other rappers is an angry 50 fan
