Hip Hop Album Sales: Week Ending 6/22/08

This week, Lil Wayne gets bumped out of the #1 spot by Coldplay's highly anticipated debut of Viva La Vida which sold 721,200 copies this week. The Carter III, though no longer in the top spot, still sold a very respectable 308,500 in its second week on the charts. Plies' Definition of Real, which made a surprising debut at #2 last week, fell to #5 with 67,700 copies sold this week. Usher's latest effort, Here I Stand, driven by his hit single "Love in this club", took the #6 spot with 64,900 sold. Rihanna's re-release of Good Girl Gone Bad--complete with new tracks-- re-enters the charts at #7 proving that her latest album is far from losing steam. Further down the charts N.E.R.D falls to #20 with Seeing Sounds selling 23,600 units.
