The Numbers Game: Lupe Fiasco Debuts At #5

After a few weeks off, The Numbers Game returns. And besides missing Cruel Summer debuting at #2 and Kreyshawn’s album debuting at #94578, I really didn’t miss much.

Say what you will about Lupe Fiasco, but dude has fans and proves it once again with with Food & Liqior II grabbing the #5 spot and selling around 90,000. True, it’s way less that his last album Lasers (Which sold over 200,000 copies) but that album didn’t have a blank black cover or uncoventional singles like “Bad Bitch” or “Around My Way (Freedom Ain’t Free)”.
