Whatup everybody? It’s a recession!
It was a pretty slow week… not that many hip-hop albums dropped. There were a bunch of small releases that I’m seeing for sale on UGHH and Amazon that all scanned under 100 units, so I’m not even going to mention those (except for Chicharones, b/c I used to cop those at my local cuban/chinese restaurant):
Week of 3/3/09:
Grandmaster Flash “The Bridge” – 1075
Chicharones – “Swine Country” – 47
And now, with another week under their belts, some of the numbers from previous weeks’ releases start to come into focus a little bit more.
Previous Weeks:
K’naan “Troubador” (2nd week – 6,261 – 60% drop) – 21,647 total (60/40 – digital/physical)
Havoc “Hidden Files” (2nd week 566 – 40% drop) – 1,551 total (70/30 physical/digital)
B-Real “Smoke N Mirrors” (2nd week – 2,268 – 40% drop) – 6,165 total (70/30 physical/digital)
N.A.S.A. “Spirit of Apollo” (3rd week – 1559 – 30% drop) – 7,207 total (60/40 physical/digital)
Katt Williams “It’s Pimpin Pimpin” – 10,978 total units (since 1/27) (55/45 physical/digital)
Stay tuned for next week’s numbers, which will include at least a couple more interesting projects, like brother ali, the dream & more. And, as always, shoot me a comment and let me know if there’s anything I’m missing, or that you’d be interested in seeing info on.
Peace
