Nothing on the charts of interest this week, at least to me, other than that Kidz Bop 23 is the #3 album in the country. Unfortunately, it’s doesn’t include a kid friendly version of YG’s “My Nigga”. Damn. Oh yeah, Bruce Springsteen has the #1 album in the country and apparently sometimes he listens to Hip-Hop and thinks Kanye West is incredible. BRUCE!!!
