 A Wal-Mart exclusive from Sugarland dominated the Billboard 200 this week, but artists such as Fabolous, K-Jon and Dorrough made an impact.
Last week's no. 1, Fabolous' Loso's Way, slips to no. 10 in its second week, moving just 37,000 units, down 63% from nearly 100,000 he sold his opening week.
While Fab slipped, the Black Eyed Peas continue their ride with The E.N.D. which climbed one notch to no. 4 with 44,000 copies sold. To date, the album has sold 872,000.
Falling four slots to no. 7 is Maxwell's BLACKsummers'night, selling 43,000 copies.
R&B singer K'Jon sees his debut album, I Get Around, enter right outside the top 10 at no. 12 with 33,000 units sold, while Eminem's Relapse rounds out the top tier at no. 19 with 22,000 copies sold.
Much later down the list, we had one other debut from Dallas rapper Dorrough, whose debut Dorrough Music landed at no. 36 with 13,000 copies sold, thanks to the buzz around his single "Ice Cream Paint Job." His album features Tum Tum, Lil Flip and other respected Texas rappers.
According to Billboard.com, overall album sales in this past chart week (ending August 9) totaled 6.03 million units, up 1.2% compared to the sum last week (5.96 million) and down 15.7% compared to the same sales week of 2008 (7.16 million).
