The lone debut this week belongs to Christian Hip-Hop artist Lecrae. After releasing his last album 5 months ago, Lecrae releases another on and again pushes around 20,000 units (Which was more than what Soulja Boy’s last album sold in it’s first week). I may not be the biggest supporter of Christian Hip-Hop, but props go to Lecrae. Rehab: The Overdose debuts at #15.
Also this week, Bruno Mars‘ Doo-Wops & Hooligans crosses the 500,00 mark for the Gold plaque.
