OFF THE CHAINZ! Georgia Rapper Proves a Playa with Chart-Topping Debut
August 15, 2012
Another week, another IDJ artist hits the top spotl Barry Weiss, Steve Bartels and company are as hot as the weather this summer, looking at a third hip-hop—and fourth overall—chart-topper on tap. Following Justin Bieber, then Nas and Rick Ross, comes Def Jam College Park, GA, rapper 2 Chainz’s Based on a T.R.U. Story, which is on target for a #1 debut next Tuesday, with sales in the 130-140k range.
Tauheed Epps, a one-time Playaz Circle member formerly known as Tity Boi, was a protégé of fellow Atlanta rapper Ludacris before breaking out on his own. He had high-profile appearances on hit singles by Kanye West (“Mercy”) and Nicki Minaj (“Beez in the Trap”). The first single from his album, “No Lie,” features Drake.
Notorious Psychopathic Juggalos Insane Clown Posse’s latest, with the Fiona Apple-sque title of The Mighty Death Pop!; Smothered, Covered & Chunked; Freaky Tales; Mike E. Clark's Extra Pop Emporium, is eyeing first-week sales of 35-40k, which would make for a likely Top 5 debut.
Century Media L.A. metalcore group In This Moment, founded in 2005 by lead singer Maria Brink and guitarist Chris Howorth, will see their fourth studio album for the label, Blood, debut with 20-25k after their 2010 release, A Star-Crossed Wasteland, bowed in the Top 40.
Hopeless Records’ Jacksonville, FL, pop-punk band Yellowcard’s Southern Air, the second indie release after leaving Capitol, is headed for between 15-20k in first-week sales, the same amount as Stoopid’s pop-ska outfit Slightly Stoopid. Integrity gospel group Israel & New Breed looks to sell between 10-12k.
Album sales were down 5% vs. last week, down 17% vs. same week last year (when Jay Z & Kanye's Watch the Throne debuted with 436k) and down 4% year to date.
Track sales were flat vs. last week, up 5% vs. same week last year and up 6% year to date
TEA sales were down 3% vs. last week, down 11% vs. same week last year and down 1% year to date.

Looks like Yellowcard will meet expectations from the label. I love their new album.

Looks like Yellowcard will meet expectations from the label. I love their new album. Album is amazing indeed! 15-20k should be enough for a top 20 placement. That's all I ask for. Debut sales will be lower than those of When You're Through Thinking, Say Yes, though (23k). Not surprising, given that that was their comeback record.

Very decent projection for 2 Chainz but I just wish the chart would liven up a bit... September, I guess.

The only review I saw that gave 2 Chainz love was Rolling Stone.

If i'm not mistaken, Maroon 5's latest is on sale this week for $5.99 at Best Buy. I know that is sale price, but didn't think they went that low on new release physical cd's! Wouldn't be surprised if they see a bump.

2 Chainz worked pretty hard to get his name out and had all the right pieces in place for those first week sales, but the album ended up being a wreck. That's some exceptional branding right there guys.

That could be a big surge for some and push Adele out of the top 10!

Sadly, this album from 2 Chainz is going to do a better first week then Slaughterhouse's album in a few weeks. Gotta give credit to 2 Chainz for the marketing of his stuff.
