This needs some promo/Dark Side.

Carrie's numbers look about right.

Norah Jones' numbers are impressive. I haven't seen any promo for this album yet, so that's a nice showing.

Adele's drop is still small.

Disappointing numbers for B.o.B compared to other openers by rappers. He needs to build a stronger urban base for next album.

Nicki's weekly drop isn't shocking. She's losing a lot of her urban following thanks to her trying to build a bigger pop following.

Hopefully Onika jumps with the drop from these albums released last week.

I expected B.o.B to do better, but it'll sell over time hopefully.

[Allthatisholy]

21 might pass 9 million in sales this week!

Well, she performed on David Letterman, but that's all I know! Incredible artist, a shame you don't like her

All three of last week's Rap-related debuts in the Top 200 were gone a week later. This past week, B.o.B.'s sophomore album surpassed early sales predictions and scored a Top 5 slot.

The effort moved offer 75,000 first-week units, scoring a #5 on the charts.

Santigold Returns Strong With Master Of My Make Believe
Electronic/Hip Hop vocalist Santigold followed up her 2008 acclaimed self-title debut. The Atlantic Records sensation scored her best performing chart position to date, following '08's Top 100 debut with a Top 20 showing in Master Of My Make Believe.
