Hip Hop Album Sales: Week Ending 4/20/08

Hip Hop takes a backseat once again as the charts are ruled by Mariah Carey's E=MC2 [selling an impressive 462,000 in its first week], Leona Lewis, and Miley Cyrus, respectively. A little further down the charts, at #11 Rick Ross holds it down with Trilla selling just under 27,000 in its 6th week.

Diddy's dolls, Danity Kane, take the #14 spot with Welcome to the Dollhouse selling just under 23,000 this week - making them still shy of that golden plaque. To date, the album has sold 422,000 units.

Gnarls Barkley's The Odd Couple makes it move back up the charts this week jumping from #27 to #20 and selling about 20,000 copies of their well-received sophomore effort. Following closely behind is Day 26 at #28. This week, the "Making The Band" boys sold 19.5k of their self-titled debut release. Meanwhile, Flo Rida's Mail on Sunday finally drops out of the top 25 and lands at the #31 spot selling just under 17,000.
