I’ll go ahead and say that this week looks like shit in terms of Hip-Hop & R&B releases. Other than that, Big K.R.I.T.‘s Cadillactica (Which we rated Classic) had a big drop off in it’s second week and Taylor Swift finally lost the #1 spot to boy band One Direction.
Sidenote: Next week should be better since we got new releases from Rick Ross, Beyonce, Eminem/Shady, Pitbull, & Iggy Azalea.
#1 One Direction – Four (Last Week: N/A) – 387,000; Total: N/A [Debut]
#2 Taylor Swift – 1989 (Last Week: #1) – 214,000; Total: 2,200,000 (2x Platinum) [4 Weeks]
#43 Big K.R.I.T. – Cadillactica (Last Week: #5) – 9,100; Total: 53,000 [2 Weeks]
#50 T.I. – Paperwork (Last Week: #33) – 8,300; Total: 141,300 [5 Weeks]
