Charts: SoundScan Album Sales 4/06/2005

Loyal to The Game…

Urbanconnects.com is your only source for your Soundscan report. Drill that into your dome until it’s well known. You wan to get your review of the charts then log onto this site to get your street review of the numbers. Now check it; Soundscan numbers should NEVER determine how good an album is. Many a classic album have sold terrible in it’s 1st week and so forth. Good music is good music. Don’t be on this Hip Hop/Industry/Radio Spins attitude **** where if it ain’t on TRL or 106th and Park or not in regular rotation it’s not what’s up. Stay Loyal to the Game.Beanie Sigel’s “B. Coming” is a potentially classic album that needs to be supported by every street corner cat in the struggle. For the next couple months albums from Common, Do or Die, and my homeys, the Outlawz will drop that won’t be getting love on the Soundscan charts.Real Hip Hop Supporters Plz Stand Up!!!

Nuff’ gun shot bust off for Philly as an icon and a Potential Hip Hop Hall-A-Famer both debut strong on Top 200 Charts. Beanie Sigel sells an impressive 131,752 this week while Will Smith’s debut on Interscope, yes on Interscope, debuts at Number 6 with 98, 446 sold, respectively. Though we could care less how much Will Smith truly sells with his latest offering, its good to see that the Broad St. Bully debuted at number 3 on top of a Philly Icon Will Smith, knowing that the streets have answered over Hollywood. Congratulation Beans…Hold Ya Head!!! With that being said the conglomerate we call Interscope Records continues to cake with 5 Records in the top 20. “Hate Him or Love Him” Curtis Jackson remains on top with a total of over 2.8 million. Game and Gwen Stefani rests in the top 14 and 15 spots with Game classic selling 44,770 this week and Gwen sells 44,388 this week. Both artists are running neck and neck for real with Game at a total of 1.7 million in and Gwen is at a total of 1.5 million. John Legend gets lifted to Platinum status with 39, 537 in. Luda never seems to disappoint as his album does over 32,000 this week bringing his numbers over 1.5. 32,925 idiots went and supported J. Lo this week as the Millennium Marilyn Monroe quietly goes gold. Jersey City via Atlanta’s Akon is still killing them out there with his sales going up 4 % bringing his numbers over 600,000. It seems as if no one cares that Tweet: “It’s Me Again” is out. I’m still going to check it out but I wouldn’t buy an album entitled with that bull**** either but she got banging beats though. The JT the Bigg Figga Game- West Coast Resurrection debuts with at least over 18,000 heads checking for pre-Dr. Dre’s version of The Game. The Legendary Tupac’s album still kissing platinum selling over 8500 this week bringing the Don’s numbers to 987,470. T.I kisses platinum as his quite impressive Urban Legend goes up 4 % totaling his numbers to 940463.C-Murder still struggling with fewer than 50,000 sold, WOW!! Nas still hold on to his status in the top 200 as he goes down 13% in sales bring God Son’s total to 631,741.A gang of Rock-N-Roll albums threaten to leave the top 200 as hip hop controls the market.

Check out what’s off the radar and I’ll see yall next week with fire to your ass if Pimp C don’t do over 100,000 next week, Texas!!!!!

TIME SQUARE COMEDY JUMP OFF IS GOING DOWN!

[E - Style-Greesy - E]

Wow. Other than The Massacre, he's with good company at #5. He can easilly move up, too.

Let's hope so... 50 number one again... :nono:

[MaxFly]

Wow, soundscan is so unbiased...

Lets all support the dude from the streets... who's in jail. Lol, am I the stupid one here? Is it me?

[Typhoon20]

Nah, I also agree with the fact that that guy is so biased :nono:

[Stoichennium]

Its wierd cos the bloke who usually writes up the soundscan report is all over any interscope release cos he works for them, but hatin will? seems strange. i dont kno why will gets so much hate 4 no reason, success i guess

:werd: Let them hate! Will is going platinum with this one!

[Stoichennium]

Yea, lets just hope he gets a single out soon and switch keeps rising, where did we get june from for the next single release?

Edited April 7, 2005 by Stoichennium

[bigted]

112 had an album out? :speechless: How did that get ranked ahead of "Lost and Found" 'cause I didn't hear nothin' about their promotion and Will's been everywhere, he's the only one to perform on TRL, 106&Park, Today Show, and Jay Leno so why couldn't it go #1? I guess nobody watches TV anymore. :toetap: btw, I did hear about Faith Evans having an album, where did that rank?

[DefCEM]

Wait until Tell Me Why drops! L&F will easily go 4x platinum!

JJFP Rock The House

[Jin]

It's a little bit disappointing that Beanie Siegel is above FP, cause he is beside The Roots one of Philly's best Hip Hop artist! By the way i heard never so far some good music from Beanie...i doubt it's better than L&F!

[Angel Amor]

let just hope that it keeps rising :thumb: :angel:

[bigted]

I think The Roots are the most original group in hip-hop, they bring a diff. flava to hip-hop just like the Fuggees but they respect what JJFP has done, Questlove always gives them props, but Beanie Siegal is just another Biggie wannabe just like his boy Jay-Z but at least Jay-Z put out one classic album and Beanie's work has been average at best.

[E - Style-Greesy - E]

hmmmmmmm that sucks for me.......but i think after the other single will be released it will be better
