Top Selling Hiphop Albums For 2009. by Vacora(m): 9:34pm On Jan 01, 2010 |
1.Eminem - The Detroit MC’s return album, Relapse, sold 1,533,184 which puts Slim Shady at number one. If you haven’t had a chance to pick up this album you can pick up Relapse: Refill which is the holiday re-release of the album with seven extra songs. This paves the way for Relapse 2 which is supposed to be a little more serious than its predecessor. 2. The Black Eyed Pea’s fifth album sold 1,440,895 copies on the strength of strong singles like “Boom Boom Pow”, “I Gotta Feeling”, and “Meet Me Halfway.” ![]() 3.Jay-Z’s Blueprint 3 sold 1,337,192. 4.Rick Ross sold 401,000 copies with his third album Deeper Than Rap ![]() 5.Jadakiss, comes in at number five for top selling Hip Hop for this year. The Last Kiss sold 342,000 copies. 6. Fabulous's Loso’s Way sold 270,000 copies with the help of singles “Throw It In The Bag” and “Money Goes, Honey Stays.” I’m not sure what Fabolous plans on doing in 2010 but hopefully it involves Twitter. 7. Drake's EP So Far sold 257,000 people copies. 8. Mr Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson. The Queens MC managed to continue his beef with Rick Ross and take a couple of shots at Jay-Z all while releasing his fifth album Before I Self Destruct. The album has been looked at as having lackluster sales but has still managed 227,000. Lil Wayne and Young Money pushed about 140k their first week to hit the Top 10 of the charts. Mary J. Blige sold about 340k, landing her at the No. 2 slot for her debut. Those were the top selling albums of 2009 and that was the last ChartWatch of 2009. Let's hope 2010 will see a revival in HipHop. I am quite surprised Raekwon's Bulit For Cuban Links 2 is not the list despite rave reviews. |

I remember a time when 50 Cent's albums pushed more than a million copies in the first week of release, now BISD's barely pushing a 100 Grand. . .how the mighty have fallen. |
