Rick Ross makes big chart debut
Rick Ross ' "Trilla" sold 198,000 copies during its first week in stores, enough to give the Florida rapper his second straight No. 1 album in the US.
"Trilla" outpaced the "NOW 27" hits compilation, which sold 169,000 copies during its debut week and claims the No. 2 spot on The Billboard 200 chart. (Billboard bases its album chart on Nielsen SoundScan retail reports.)
Snoop Dogg 's "Ego Trippin'" moved 137,000 copies during its first week out, and debuts at No. 3.
Jack Johnson 's "Sleep through the Static" sold 55,000 copies, and slips two rungs to No. 4, while last week's No. 1 album, Alan Jackson 's "Good Time," sinks to No. 5 on sales of 53,000, according to Billboard.
Fat Joe 's "The Elephant in the Room," Sara Bareilles ' "Little Voice," Janet Jackson 's "Discipline," Erykah Badu 's "New Amerykah: Part One (4th World War)," and Miley Cyrus ' "The Best of Both Worlds Concert" round out the Top 10.
