Talib Kweli, Swizz Beatz Hit Top 10 Charts
Thursday, August 30, 2007 By: Kenny Rodriguez
New releases by artists Talib Kweli and Swizz Beatz reached the Billboard’s Top 10 this past week, although both album sales were nowhere close to Disney Channel’s “High School Musical 2” soundtrack which topped the charts.
Talib Kweli’s “Ear Drum” debuted at the No. 2 spot with 60,000 copies sold. As Kweli’s third solo album, this is the first time the Brooklyn rapper has reached the Top 10.
A few spots below is Swizz Beatz’s “One Man Band” at No. 7, which moved 45,000 units.
Meanwhile, UGK’s “Underground Kingz” is on the charts for a second consecutive time at No. 10, after debuting at No. 1 the previous week.
But the “High School Musical 2” soundtrack capped the charts at No. 1 with 367,000 copies sold this week – bringing its two-week tally to 982,000 copies.
