The Whole Delivery

It looks like the Detroit legend will stay number one for another week incredibly, while disappointment and hard times are ahead for another flop CD from the former officer. Too funny : Eminem makes it five weeks in a row at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 as "Recovery" sells another 187,000 (down just 4%), according to Nielsen SoundScan. Rick Ross' "Teflon Don" arrives in the runner-up spot with 176,000. Ross' last three studio albums all debuted at No. 1, with his last set, 2009's "Deeper Than Rap," arriving with 158,000. The opener for "Teflon" is Ross' best sales week since 2008's "Trilla" arrived with 198,000. Less than even "Trilla?" With all of those guest appearances on that virtual compilation album, this has to be devastating to the Rick Ross camp and those that hyped him endlessly, figuring that all of this ridiculous momentum would lead to a bigger fan base buying his poser crap. Instead, ...

Arguably the most annoying person in music has his much hyped album of "drug boss" posing release today. It's Ross's third album, and with all the attention it is getting from everywhere, it had better not push less than 300K its first week. It sure would be hilarious if it wasn't able to though. Also dropping today is Sheryl Crow, back on the scene with "100 Miles From Memphis." In addition, out of nowhere, Chamillionaire is releasing another album. Talk about getting no hype, what a shame. I sure wasn't cognizant of him dropping "Venom." My how his appeal has fallen so fast. Those are the notables for this Tuesday, July 20th.
