Top 200 SoundScan Album Sales
Top seller this week (Nelly Furtado's Loose) lands at the top spot with a little over 81K...slow times at Ridgemont High. Rounding out the top 5 this week you have India Arie taking that big second week dive with a -57 dip. Gnarls Barkley debut hit album "St. Elsewhere" scans 55,885 this week as the album approaches the gold mark. Going number 1 in England without a physical product is a good indicator of where the game is going, stay tuned. Next up is Island/Def Jam’s Bajan Queen Rihanna as she takes a -11 this week but still manages to put another 55k plus on the scoreboard. Last but not least is New Jock City by Yung Joc with 46,968 sold...congrats to Bad Boy and Atlantic.
