Snoop Dogg’s Bush album fell nearly 30 spots this week, bumping The Doggfather out of the top 25. Bush debuted at #14 last week.
Drake’s surprise mixtape-turned album, If Youre Reading This Its Too Late, continues to dominate the streaming count. This week, IFYRTITL racked up more than 15 million streams. Nicki Minaj’s streaming count has kept her afloat among the Top 25 for several weeks. The Pinkprint and J. Cole’s 2014 Forest Hills Drive have remained in the Top 50 Rap & R&B since they were released in 2014.

Snoop Dogg’s “Bush” Falls Out Of Top 25
Snoop Dogg’s Bush did not debut in the Top 10 on the Billboard 200 last week, although it did manage to move over 27,000 units and obtain a streaming count just short of 3 million. During week two, Bush saw a significant drop in the amount of physical copies purchased. The album plummeted from the #14 spot to #44 on the entire chart.

For more Snoop Dogg coverage, watch the following DX Daily:
Kendall cheated his way to the top thanks to taylo swift. At least wiz khalifa and ffatty wap and t wayne hit it big on their ownn
I didn’t know Kendall Jenner was releasing music. Also, Wiz, Fetty Wap, and T-Wayne didn’t hit it big on their own. Wiz relied on a movie and Fetty Wap and T-Wayne relied on Vine.
One of the Kardashians did a song with Taylor Swift?
Kinda like how Juicy J cheated his way to the top thanks to Katy Perry.
Katy perry crawled to juicy j. Kendrick crawled to taylor. Big difference.
You mean Juicy J crawled to Katy Perry. Taylor came to Kendrick.
If it wasn’t for taylor swift, bad blood would be a huge bomb and kendrick Lamer would be obselete. Fetty wap and t wayne both got big without help from others. Wiz hit it big on his own with black and yellow and is doing it again with see you again.
Your first sentence, along with everything else, is a lie that makes no sense since Bad Blood is Taylor’s song, not Kendrick’s. Kendrick’s latest album went gold, that’s FAR from obsolete. Fetty Wap and T-Wayne had others from Vine help them get big and Wiz is not doing big on his own either as 1. the Steelers helped Black & Yellow 2. Furious 7 and a pop singer helped See You Again and 3. Kendrick’s last album sold more than Wiz’s last album.
Which proves the point that without taylor swift, Kendrick Lameass would be gone. His latest album is bombing considering how as a pop star, he should be able to go multiplatinum easy just like feminem. Fetty Wap and T Wayne still hit it big on their own (Vine is only a platform just like cd’s and radio).
And steelers helping wiz is like a fan helping him, not another artist. Charlie Puth didn’t do shit before and Wiz got weak promotion.
1.nWithout Taylor Swift, Kendrick is already a platinum-selling, award-winning rapper with tons of acclaim. He’s doing fine without her. 2. You got it wrong. His newest album is a huge success since it sold more in the first week than GKMC. 3. Kendrick is a hip-hop star, not a pop star (did you even listen to TPAB? it’s the most hip-hop, non-pop album in rap music). Same goes for Eminem. 4. Eminem and Kendrick are two different artists, plus Eminem had a 15 year headstart. 5. Fetty Wap and T-Wayne did not hit it big on their own as they relied on Vine (which is not like CDs and radio) to be big.
No, the Steelers helping Wiz is not like a fan helping. Wiz got strong promotion.
Drake lifted kendrick to success. He has drake to
Thank. And he should have sold at least 500k 1st week.
Drake didn’t lift Kendrick to success at all, Kendrick was already successful. And his sales are good enough.
People must be mad that Fetty Wap hit it big while YELLLAWOLF didn’t.
Fetty Wap is a one-hit wonder who no one will remember by fall while Yelawolf is still relevant.
One appearance on that flop shady xv compiliation and yelawolf still can’t get a hit album OR song by himself?
1. Shady XV is not a flop, it’s a success. 2. Yelawolf appeared more than once on that album 3. Yela’s newest album sold more than the previous, selling more than what Fetty Wap would if he released an album.
1. Shady XV couldn’t even go gold and eminem is supposedly the biggest star according to you stans. 2. My mistake. Yela still flopped. 3. Fetty will do at least 100k first week.
1. It already went gold. 2. Fetty Wap won’t even sell 50k 1st week. When Trap Queen falls off the charts, Wap’s career is done.
1. No dumbass it didnt. Where’s your proof? 2. Trap queen is just the beginning.
1. It did go gold. RIAA proves it. 2. Trap Queen is the end for Fetty Wap.
Shady xv still bombed considering e minems heavy involvement.
Shady XV did not bomb since it’s a compilation album, not a solo Eminem album. By that logic, all of the Young Money collaboration albums are bombs since Wayne is heavily involved in those.
Shady XV is not a bomb since it’s a compilation album, not a solo Eminem album. By that logic, all of the Young Money collaboration albums are bombs since Wayne is heavily involved in those.
Those albums back when wayne was dope did much better than shady xv. Bedrock actually made it to no.2.
Wayne was never dope and those albums did not do better than Shady XV.
Yes they did. That southpaw soundtrack curated by eminem will flop as well.
No, they didn’t. The Southpaw soundtrack has nothing to do with Eminem’s discography since it’s not his.
teethboy on e again ruins the comments section like the troll he is.
Kendrick n Cole are just doing their own thing man (different concept from da rest) leave em out your discussions cos mentioning these two in the same sentence as Fetty Wap is an insult! Its disrespect!!
Its an insult to fetty because cole and kenwack arent anywhere near the same level as fetty.
Are you high, teethboy? Cole and Kendrick are miles above wack ass Fetty Wap. They’re better rappers than him and they speak on social issues, unlike Shitty Wap rapping and singing (horribly) about the same cash, drugs, hoes bullshit. To compare them would be insulting to both Kendrick and Cole.
Fetty raps from his heart while cole and kendrick come off pretentious. After kendrick Lamers album flopped, he crawled to pop queen taylor swift for a hit. He lost his credibility in the process that drake gave to him.
Wrong, Danny bitch. Cole and Kendrick raps from their hearts while Fetty Wap comes off pretentious. Kendrick’s album did not flop and he didn’t crawl to anyone for a hit. He didn’t lose any credibility (btw, Drake never gave him any credibility).
A$AP Rocky (Polo Grounds/RCA) 110-120k sales, 125-135k SPS
Hillsong United (Hillsong) 45-55k, 50-60k
Boosie Badazz (Atlantic) 40-50k, 45-55k
The white people will forget bout fetty wap after the summer
Can yall show total physical album sales as well as just the week?
