"Randy Jackson's Music Club: Vol. 1" will debut at No. 50 on the Billboard chart having managed to sell 13,000 copies last week. In contrast, William Hung's album enjoyed first week sales of 37,600 copies. Maybe Randy should have had Hung join his club as the first single featuring the half-software/half-voice vocal styling of his fellow Idol judge Paula Abdul didn't seem to help move too many units.
Rick Ross on the other hand didn't need the star power of William Hung to sell 198,000 units last week in the U.S. Which was a 12,000 unit jump from his 2006 chart topping effort. On the other side of the coin, Now! and Snoop saw their sales drop. NOW 27 snagged the No. 2 slot, but with their lowest sales since series debut in 1998. According to Billboard, from the series 2nd release on, each volume have enjoyed first week sales in excess of 200,000. This new edition only sold 169,000.
Snoop landed at No 3 with sales of 137,00 of his new effort "Ego Trippin'" Which is respectable, but it's also the lowest first week sales of his career (for new studio albums). Last week's No. 1, Alan Jackson's "Good Time," nosedived to No. 5 with 53,000 and Fat Joe's "The Elephant in the Room," came in No. 6 with sales of 46,000 copies.
