It’s Numbers Game time again and this week we have two notable Hip-Hop debuts. First up is Gorilla Zoe’s sophomore album Don’t Feed Da Animals debuting at #8. I’m happy that Zoe debuted in the Top 10, but he only moved 30,000 copies (Can you say slow week?). I guess it’s all in your perspective. I’m sure Capone-N-Noreaga would love to have Zoe’s album sales. Their 3rd album Channel 10 didn’t make the Top 100 and debuted at #136. For some reason I thought it’d be more. We also saw Beyonce’s album I Am Sasha Fierce cross the 2 million mark is sales this week. At least somebody is still selling albums.
