Flo-Rida Leads New Debuts, Rocko and Sheek Louch Chart

 •  XXL Magazine  •  by XXL Staff  •  50 Comments

Flo-Rida’s Mail on Sunday leads this week’s new debuts and will be the only new Hip-Hop album to crack the top 10 of Billboard’s Top 200 album chart. While the Carol City native has enjoyed enormous success with his T-Pain assisted single “Low,” the song’s popularity failed to translate into major sales. Mail on Sunday moved 86,100 copies and will land at No. 4, right behind fellow Floridian and last week’s big winner and Rick Ross. The Boss’s Trilla sold another 90,300 units and moves down two slots to No. 3. Next up we have Atlanta native Rocko with his debut LP Self Made. On the strength of his single “Umma Do Me,” the Def Jam MC sold just under 28,000 CDs and will snag the No. 21 spot. Sheek Louch also charted this week with his third solo album Silverback Gorilla. While his single “Good Love” has enjoyed moderate success at radio, Louch will bow at No. 41 with about 17,800 in total sales. In related news, Gnarls Barkley—the duo consisting of former Goodie Mob MC Cee-Lo and producer Danger Mouse—managed to move 31,000 copies of their latest, The Odd Couple. Those numbers are relatively good considering the album’s release date was bumped up at the last minute and the last week’s release was strictly digital. The physical CD officially landed in stores yesterday (March 25).

    music bizz just aint what it used to be….Sheek, who in my opinion, is one of the best in the game…moves 17K. But, Rick Ross and his dumb ass Kimbo beard, moved over 100K last week. Sheek didnt even do fat joe numbers…..shit is sad.

    • TRUTHFROMDABOOT

      Sheek is hot but if you guy up top don’t buy it NO ONE WILL, it’s a shame that good artist out of the East can’t get love like they use to because of the regional based hatin on other people styles of Rap, hip-hop, tunes, R&B or whateva! Most people have chosen what they liked and obviously the East is not where most people heart is.

    • the one

      I lol’d @ the kimbo comment

      ANAL ANYONE????? im gay and have a small willy

  • TRUTHFROMDABOOT

  • 12yo girls run this

    Fuck commercial sales period, all the numbers tell us now is that whoever sells the most sold out the most, with bitch ass half techno club joints and fake ass R&B tracks for little teenage girls. Fuck, labels need to start advertising in all the female fashion and gossip magazines because that’s their real fan base, fuck XXL and hip-hop mags the little girls are over at teen magazine.

  • menaceman305

    Hell nah, alot of niggaz ain’t sellin, truth be told i can’t tell u the last, hell or even the first cd that i’ve brought so i really can’t say nothin about why they not sellin, but DAMN. i’m happy for Flo Rida, he’s home team and i like everything that Sheek has put out so far.

    Plus i feel that Flo Rida is probably doin better than alot of the haters on him predicted, these fuck ass up north niggaz (only the one’s who fall into the catagory) reall hate the south as if they tryin to bring back slavery or somethin, but big up to my dawg.

    Dade County Stand The Fuck Up!!! We In Here!!!

  • Jonz

    We shouldn’t even care about how many units a nigga move. All we should be concerned with is the quality of the product.

  • Jonz
