Thats it for the top 20.
Later down the line, Soulja Boy Tellem opens at a disappointing no. 43 with iSouljaBoyTellEm, despite launching his Lets Go Platinum In A Week Campaign in November. The new album sold just 46,000 copies. His 2007 debut, SouljaBoyTellEm.com, began at No. 4 with 117,000, thanks to the runaway success of his hit single Crank That.
Those arent bad numbers with the economy being the way it is. We know someones out there making that special edition, deluxe cd that includes all of the artists albums mentioned above, and we want a copy, minus the Soulja Boy. Much appreciated.
