As Lil' Wayne gears up for the release of his long-delayed, highly-anticipated album, Carter III next week, he is in better shape than ever. His hit single Lollipop is starting it’s fourth frame at number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts.
Usher inevitably sailed to the top of the charts last week with his fifth studio release, Here I Stand, giving him his second straight number 1 album. But the harsh reality of record retailing in 2008 means first week sales totaling 443,000 copies.
Lastly, Ashanti released her new album, The Declaration, this week. The first single The Way That I Love You, did pretty good and the promotions have been heavy. I am anxious to see the week-end sales reports on this one.
