Two popular urban acts occupy the top two spots on The Billboard 200 this week, with the Game's "Doctor's Advocate" coming in at No. 1. The Geffen effort moved 358,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan, a significant drop off from the 587,000-unit first week of his 2005 debut, "The Documentary." However, the new album's total was more than enough to debut at No. 1 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums... Akon's SRC/Up Front/Konvict set "Konvicted" sold 284,000 to bow at No. 2 on The Billboard 200 and Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. The artist's 2004 debut, "Trouble," had a much more modest opening with 24,000. "Konvicted" has benefited from two huge singles, "I Wanna Love You" (featuring Snoop Dogg) and "Smack That" (featuring Eminem), both of which have peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 thus far. The Sony BMG Strategic Marketing Group/EMI/Universal/Zomba hits compilation "NOW 23" falls to No. 3 after its No. 1 start last week, selling 194,000, a slide of 42%. Josh Groban's "Awake" (143/Reprise) follows suit, descending 2-4 with 150,000 and -44% sales hit. The soundtrack to Disney's "Hannah Montana" keeps the No. 5 spot warm for a second week with 114,000, a 13% dip. Keith Urban's Capitol Nashville release "Love, Pain & the Whole Crazy Thing" drops 3-6 with 103,000 (-62%) while Sugarland's "Enjoy the Ride" (Mercury) slips 4-7 with 81,000 (-61%). Rock duo Tenacious D cruises to a No. 8 debut with the Epic soundtrack to its film "The Pick of Destiny." The album sold 81,000 copies, nearly double the 42,000 the group's self-titled debut moved in its first week in 2001. That album has since shifted 987,000 copies. Beyonce's Columbia set "B'Day" re-enters the top tier, climbing 16-9 with 68,000, a 17% sales increase. "When Your Heart Stops Beating" by (+44), which comprises two former Blink 182 members, enters at No. 10. The Interscope release moved 66,000 units and also enters at No. 2 on the Top Rock Albums chart, behind "The Pick of Destiny." Damien Rice's "9" (Vector/Warner Bros.) cracks the big chart at No. 22 with 45,000, his best charting and sales week. The Irish singer/songwriter's 2003 album, "O," only managed a No. 114 peak. Other big debuts this week include Kenny G's "I'm In the Mood for Love" (No. 37; 32,000) and Staind's "Singles 1996-2006" (No. 41; 27,000). Overall CD sales are up 4.5% from last week's count and down 4.7% compared to the same week a year ago at 12.49 million units. Sales for 2006 are down 5% compared to 2005 at 468.7 million units. |

Game loses. From HitsDailyDouble: "He’s everywhere…and by next Tuesday, Jay-Z’ll make himself at home on top of the album chart, too. Riding the wave of Black Friday and holiday dollars, the rapper looks headed for the year’s best debut week total of the year for his Kingdom Come-back on Def Jam, with our national network of retailers estimating a sales total of 850k, which will soundly defeat the previous high, Rascal Flatts’ 714k last April." :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: |

And hardly anyone cared when X's album came out.
 Oh well, at least my favorite r&b artist, Beyonce, is doing well.

Well, what goes up must come down, unless X works hard and reinvents himself. As for Jay-Z, I'm glad that hes doing well but his material has sadly declined. As for Game, I've never listened to his music, so I can't comment on him. |

Game didn't deserve to sell that much, it was a weak ass album, 2.5/5, not even as good as his first, as for Jay, his album was a 3/5, average... and X, 2.5/5, then Luda, his album was about a 2.5/5, T.I. another 2.5/5, terrible year. |

very wreckless at times but fuck it...I'm proud of that nigga Game doin his thing and gettin that money. He smashed everybody on the charts, West-Coast all day. Still an average album but that just means that with a great album he prolly would've went plat in the first week like he said. |

Both of their shit was average, Game was droppin' some of the worst lyrics i heard this year, i'm not going to even lie, he had some hot production, but what he was saying meant nothing to me, and that Dre voice miming... what the fuck
 Jay's effort was just simply lazy i'd say
:mellow: The mainstream has been hurting this year.
