LUDACRIS BEATS JANET FOR #1 ALBUM!!!!!
By L.T. Dinwiddie
I am not a hater I just ask a lot of questions and challenge anything that seems suspicious. By now I am sure that you all know that Janet Jackson and Ludacris have been battling it out for the number one album in America and it seems that Ludcaris won barely edging ahead of Janet selling 314K to her 301K according to hitsdailydouble.com
Not taking anything away from Def Jam or Luda's success, but they can’t really be proud of this victory seeing they decided to drop the retail sale price of Luda’s new album to $5.00. Janet kept her CD retail price the same as any other artist who releases an album the first week. It’s deplorable what some will do just to have a number one album. "OK thats a little dramatic" I’m not a business major but I understand money, so it would seem to me that Ludacris would had to have lost money just to claim the number one album. After twenty years of music making, Janet still has a victory and Janet fans look out for her tour early next year.
In the end, Ludacris’ Release proved to be just the right Therapy for retailers. The Def Jam South/IDJ rapper-turned-actor’s new album debuts at #1 with 314k in sales, more than enough to turn back the challenge of Virgin queen Janet Jackson’s 20 Y.O., which finishes #2 with 301k. It was a battle to the end, with Jackson’s quick start thanks to her appearance on Oprah counteracted by late-week action on the Atlanta hip-hop icon. FULL STORY
