2009-08-20 - Blueprint 3 cover Jay-ZIt's a slow week on the charts, with the new "Twightlight" soundtrack for "New Moon" winning this week's Billboard 200. However, acts like Jay-Z and the Black Eyed Peas stand strong within the top 10.

Then, outside the top 10, we have Mariah Carey's Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel, selling 21,000 to put her at no. 14; and Whitney Houston rounds out the top 20 with I Look To You, selling 19,000 copies this week.

As far as new releases, Slaugherhouse's Royce Da 5'9 opens at no. 111 with Street Hop, selling 4,600 copies.

And in at no. 129 is Melanie Fiona's The Bridge, selling 4,200 copies to start.

According to Billboard.com, overall album sales in this past chart week (ending Oct. 25) totaled 5.73 million units, down 2% compared to the sum last week (5.84 million) and down 19% compared to the same sales week of 2008 (7.07 million).

  • http://dvsinc.blogspot.com/ VENGEANCE IS MINE!!!!!!!!!!

    THERE'S NO REAL MEMORABLE SONGS IN: "jay-z - the shoe print 3"

    WELL TO EACH THEIR OWN BUT IN MY OPINION HE HAS FALLEN FROM GRACE AS AN ARTIST!!!!

    HE STILL IS A VERY SUCCESSFUL BLACK MAN BUT IT'Z TIME HE HANGS UP THA MIC AND FOCUS ON EXECUTIVE POSITIONS AND POWER MOVES!!!!

  • Frame

    Everyone say Jay is on the fall off because of what? It sure ain't cuz of lack of lyrical content. So he done lost his touch but could still spit:

    remember me, silver bullet hard top mentally/they think think I'm outta shape so I have to jog they memory/think with indelible ink, I let the pen go/verses permanently tattooed serve as mementos

    50 can't touch him, Nas can't touch him, and on and on and on. It is what it is.

  • snoopy

    Jay said Nas and Em are on his level when talking about The Game trying to beef with him. He said Game ain't on his level, people on his level are Nas and Em.

  • lethal

    Nas killed him on ether.I like both artist but damn give credit when credit due.These sales are kinda depressing Damn economy
