If the image here isn’t sign enough, T-Pain’s third album Thr33 Ringz debuted this week at #4 selling about 160,000 copies…160,000 copies? I guess that’s not bad for today’s market, but seeing at how much I’ve been seeing Teddy Penderazdoun lately I guess I expected more. Plus the #4 seems kinda low too (But then again, T-pain did get outsold by Taylor Swift, David Archuletta, & Now That’s What I Call Music 29). Oh yeah, does anybody care if I don’t mention Seal & Christina Aguilera? They both entered the charts this week with albums but, I mean, is that really R&B or Hip-Hop (I also don’t mention, Leona Lewis for weeks but that’s another story)? One chart debut I will mention is Jedi Mind Tricks’ A History Of Violence coming in at #169. Yeah, we didn’t review it but almost 5,000 fans went out a bought the album (Our readers didn’t seem to care though). Check back next week to see how albums by Beyonce & Ace Hood do.
