Hip Hop Album Sales: Week Ending 8/19/07

Its a slow week for Hip Hop on the charts as kid's movie soundtracks have taken the lead. The High School Musical 2 soundtrack debuts at the #1 spot this week with 616k sold, followed by the Hanna Montana 2 soundtrack (82k sold this week, 1.09M total).

UGK's Underground Kingz, which debuted at #1 last week, fell to the #6 slot with 60k sold this week (221k total), while Plies' Real Testament dropped from #2 to #9 with 39k sold (135k total). Common's Finding Forever drops three places from #7 last week, and now rounds out the top 10 with 39k sold (252k total).

T.I.'s T.I vs. TIP finally leaves the top 10, dropping down to #11 from #9. He sold 38k this week, but despite impressive 1st week sales, has still yet to reach platinum status with 941k total in his 7 weeks on the charts.

2Pac's latest posthumous release, Nu Mixx Clazzics V2, debuted this week at a very disappointing #45 with only 15k sold, while Texas rapper Chingo Bling's They Can't Deport Us All debuts at #123 with 6k sold.
