Hip Hop Album Sales: The Week Ending 9/28/08

R&B ran things for urban music this past week, just as 2008 saw many weeks before Tha Carter III arrived. In their 25th year, Metallica assumed the top spot again, with their Death Magnetic, selling over 335,000 units in its second work on the charts. Ne-Yo's [click to read] Year of the Gentleman [click to read] held the #3 place with a strong second week in stores. One of Ne-Yo's crooning forefathers, Joe, returned with his newest album, also cracking the Top 10, with a #8 showing

Young Jeezy [click to read] still snuggled his way into the Top 10, with his Recession [click to read] taking the #9 spot, with a chance of going gold this week. The Game [click to read] returned in a major way this week. His LAX [click to read] bypassed recent releases from LL Cool J and Nelly, but still sold just over 6,000 units less than Lil Wayne [click to read], who still remains a force to be reckoned with in his third edition of Tha Carter [click to read] .
