There are more newcomers than holdovers in this week’s Top 10, which is good news for beleaguered retailers and music bizzers still recovering from last weekend’s SXSW.
Musiq Soulchild’s Atlantic debut tops this week’s HITS album sales chart, with a total of 155k, less than 5,000 more than Universal Motown’s Atlanta-based R&B star Lloyd, whose Street Love bows at #2.
Mobile, AL, rapper Rich Boy’s self-titled Interscope bow checks in at #3, with a total of 110k, followed by a couple of returning Top 5 entries in RCA/RMG’s Idol alum Daughtry and SRC/Universal Motown’s Akon, both still going strong.
Reprise Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Neil Young’s acoustic Live at Massey Hall heads a list of three more Top 10 debuts that includes Universal Republic’s beehived U.K soul diva Amy Winehouse, with an impressive #7 finish and 50k sold, and Bad Boy/Atlantic veteran rappers Eightball & MJG’s Ridin’ High, at #8.
Jive/ZLG’s Justin Timberlake and Island/IDJ’s Fall Out Boy round out the Top 10.
Other Top 50 bows include Interscope’s James Morrison (#25), SPV Records’ Type O Negative (#36), Interscope’s Fratellis (#41) and Warner Bros.’ 300 soundtrack (#43).
Manhattan/BNLG’s Celtic Woman is up (#21, +20%), along with the sale of 1,876,000 green beers for St. Patrick’s Day, Capitol’s Lily Allen (#37-32 +18%) and Walt Disney Records’ Hannah Montana soundtrack (#42-35, +13%) are the week’s double-digit gainers.
Hitting the streets are Virgin’s Joss Stone, next week’s frontrunner for #1, along with Epic indie faves Modest Mouse, Hickory’s ex-Idol Elliott Yamin, Universal Republic’s Baby By Da Prince, Universal Motown’s Marques Houston and Priority/Capitol’s incarcerated rapper Murder-C, under house arrest for, yup, murder.

15. Let’s Get This Paper...My Second fav on the album.. When the song starts you can feel his pain and throughout the entire song you can feel it.. Talk about a chill bump song..

16. Throw Some D’s (Remix) (Feat. Andre 3000, Jim Jones, Nelly, Murphy Lee)….The best fucking remix ever… The good ass people who helped out really contributed alot to this song.. It was already a damn hit.. and they made it even more of a hit…
This album is one of the best debut’s I have honestly heard.. I didn’t go into this review with any different sights than any other album I have listen to.. Rich Boy is going to be around… No Doubt about that.. This week is his week.. No matter where he comes out on the charts.. He knows as a person.. and his fans also know he is true talent.. What has been missing for a while.. Not saying hes the only one in the game doing it big.. But he can contribute to the game alot.. His potential is beyond what anyone may recognize at the moment… Polow Da Don.. is indeed a Don.. He does this thing and his loyalty to Rich makes him a even more powerful guy in the game.. Rich Congratulations on everything and may success take you everywhere you have alway wanted to go… It’s yours… The world is yours….

I was lucky enough yesterday to live out my dream and hang with some of the most amazing people ever.. I mean if I could wake up everyday and be one a set doing what the people were doing on the video shoot for Rich Boy… I would never complain about anything. The people in his camp are the most amazing people I have ever met in the entertainment industry. They are humble, nice, and just cool ass people… I hope to meet all these people again one day, because if everyone in the entertainment business could handle their business like they did.. everything would be great.
I was on set for the video of his latest single, “Boy Looka Here” and I must say from what I saw and the amazing crew working on this project. This video will be on top of the 106&Park Countdown. You guys will love the Mardi Gras Scenes alot because it’s a one in a lifetime event to be able to participate in.. There will also be a appearance from my favorite BET VJ. Here are few behind the scenes pics of the shoot… Enjoy em until the Video hits….
The hot blue car, Rich Boy will ride around in throughout the video..
Rich Boy strikes a pose for the camera..
Monica Monroe and Rich Boy pose…
FYI: I love the people behind us(his manager, pr guy, and marketing guy) they are very good people.
His stylist whom I also love, kept Rich looking good the whole day.
