It's a slow week on the charts for Hip Hop and R&B as the highest selling artist, R&B crooner Ray-J, sold just under 39,000 with his fourth release, All I Feel, and landed the #7 spot on the chart. The #1 spot was granted to UK sensation Leona Lewis and her US debut of Spirit.
Following after Ray-J, Rick Ross's Trilla comes in at #8 selling 34,000 units while the ladies of Danity Kane round out the top 10 with about 28,000 copies sold of Welcome to the Dollhouse. It seems as if the buzz has been wearing off for Danity Kane's male counterparts, Day 26, as they come in at #18 and experience a 53% sales decline, selling under 24,000 copies of their self-titled debut.

Trina's Still Da Baddest takes a significant drop from #6 to #28 selling roughly 18k as well. Snoop Dogg's Ego Trippin was met with mediocre reviews that seems to be reflecting on the charts as well.
