Hip Hop Album Sales

Joe Budden’s new album, No Love Lost, scored the biggest debut since the release of his 2003 album that featured the smash, Pump It Up. His work with Slaughterhouse last year along with a big single featuring Weezy and Tank, not to mention a role on VH1’s Love & Hip Hop have helped his solo success.

The album features guest appearances by Wiz Khalifa, Juicy J, French Montana, Lil Wayne and Lloyd banks just to name a few.

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis are staying strong on the charts as well. Their single Thrift Shop is the top selling single for the second week in a row.
