Hip Hop Album Sales This Week

Wiz Khalifa’s new album O.N.I.F.C. placed high on the chart in it’s debut appearance this week. The sophomore effort, which stands for “Only N---- In First Class,” came in second on the charts behind Taylor Swift’s album, Red.

The second album from Amber Rose’s baby daddy didn’t sell as strong as his debut album but numbers should balance out as the holiday shopping season continues. The new effort features the singles, “Work Hard Play Hard” and “Remember You feat. The Weekend.”

Alicia Keys had another big week, following her #1 debut with “Girl On Fire” last week. An additional 77,000 copies sold brings the album’s grand total to 237,700. By the way, have you heard her new ballad Brand New Me yet? Uh-may-zing.
