Nas At #1 With New Album: RBD Doesn't Suceed Unsuprisingly...

Nas scores his third No. 1 on The Billboard 200 this week with his eighth studio set, "Hip Hop Is Dead." The Def Jam effort moved 355,000 copies last week in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The rapper's last effort, "Street's Disciple," peaked at No. 5 on the chart. Nas' two other sets to take the summit were 1999's "I Am... The Autobiography" and 1996's "It Was Written."
Following closely behind, the soundtrack to Disney's "Hannah Montana" climbs 3-2 in its ninth week on the chart with 349,000, a 28% sales boost. The Sony BMG Strategic Marketing Group/EMI/Universal/Zomba hits compilation "NOW 23" also moves up, 4-3, with 313,000 (+33%).
Carrie Underwood's "Some Hearts" (Arista/Arista Nashville) ascends 6-4 in its 58th week on the chart, moving 292,000 with a 47% surge. Sliding up 8-5, the Beatles' "Love" (Apple Corps Ltd./Capitol) shifted 282,000, a sales increase of 58%.
Bow Wow's "The Price of Fame" (Columbia) enters the chart at No. 6 with 262,000. It is the rapper's third-best charting week, as his 2003 effort "Unleashed" and 2005's "Wanted" both debuted at No. 3.
Josh Groban's "Awake" (143/Reprise) is down 5-7 despite a 15% increase to 255,000 while Daughtry's self-titled RCA debut falls 7-8 despite a 38% boost at 250,000.
Justin Timberlake's Jive album "FutureSex/LoveSounds" re-enters the top tier, rocketing 22-9 with a 98% sales increase to 230,000. Akon's "Konvicted" zooms 16-10 on a 60% increase to 227,000.
During the week leading up to Christmas, few other new titles were released. Among the top debuts are RBD's "Rebels" (EMI Televisa), which opened at No. 40 with 94,000, and Trick Daddy's "Back by Thug Demand" (Slip-N-Slide/Atlantic), which bowed at No. 48 on sales of 87,000.

Nice debut for Nas, as expected...JT jumping back into the top 10 was a surprise though.

Actually now that I think about it, they had no promotion so they did pretty well. The only promo they did was back in November (when their first single was becoming a hit, but it ended up doing modestly on Pop radio) on shows like The Magan Mulali (sp? girl from Will & Grace) show, Geraldo and a morning program, I doubt young people watch those shows. They should have visited the English TRL not the Spanish one if they wanted to succeed in the U.S.

The mean old one from Will & Grace, the one who always hangs out with the really gay one (I think his name is Jack on the show).

most definitely, in the states. but when it comes the whole world chart, the sales are more or less the same as in just USA...so it will never come close to breakaway in the world.....but of course,i assume you referred to USA alone.

i'm surprised Nas sold that much. I guess all the south rappers taking offense to the title (even though Nas didn't mention the south killing hip-hop at all) helped make it sell more.
