In a rarely publicized turn of events, Nielsen, the people behind the weekly Soundscan chart reports, made a calculation error with this week's releases [click to read]. As a result of this error, one Rap titan, Tech N9ne [click to read] was not initially reported as a Top 20 debut, a place he is believed to be deserving of.

RBC Records, who in conjunction with Strange Music, released last week's Sickology 101: The Study Of Being Sick [click to read] sent HipHopDX evidence from Soundscan that said that the initial reports of 18,649 units sold should actually be 21,455. This move puts Tech N9ne above Jadakiss' [click to read] The Last Kiss [click to read] in last week's numbers and guarantees him a Top 20 debut.

There has been no word from other artists if this error affected their sales estimates as well.

The Charts: Rick Ross Dips, Mike Jones Can’t Crack Top 10
Posted on May 7, 2009 (8 hours ago), words by BallerStatus News Staff

While Bob Dylan scores his fifth no. 1 on the Billboard 200, others are descending down the rankings, starting with Rick Ross.

After landing at no. 1 last week, Rick Ross' latest album Deeper Than Rap dove to no. 4 this week, selling 51,000 copies, a 67% decline from last week's numbers.

Outside the top 10, we have a new album from Mike Jones. The Houston rapper returns after a four year hiatus with The Voice, taking a seat in the no. 12 spot with nearly 25,000 copies sold in its first week.

Two spots later, at no. 14, is Asher Roth's Asleep In The Bread Aisle. The debut album from "I Love College" rapper sold over 23,000 copies in his third week, putting his total at 88,000.

At no. 16 is Keri Hilson's In A Perfect World... with 23,000 copies; Jamie Foxx's Intuition sells another 22,000 copies to put him at 885,000 after 20 weeks; Beyonce's I Am ... Sasha Fierce jumped up a spot to no. 19 with 20,600; and Jadakiss' Last Kiss rounds out the top 20 with just over 20,000.

Debuts outside the top 20 include Midwest rapper Tech N9ne's new collabos project Sickology 101, which opens at no. 23 selling almost 19,000 copies.

However, according to a report from HipHopDX, SoundScan made an error. Tech's label Strange Music released numbers claiming they actually sold 21,455, which should put them within the top tier.

According to Billboard.com, overall album sales in this past chart week (ending May 3) totaled 6.172 million units, down 0.6% compared to the sum last week (6.176 million) and down 18.3% compared to the same sales week of 2008 (7.557 million).

Year to date album sales stand at 124.0 million, down 12.5% compared to the same total at this point last year (141.8 million).

The 21,000 number seems to have weight behind it since the album debuted at #19 on the Billboard 200, not #23 like the 18,000 number would have done. Thus it would appear there actually was an error, and Neilsen has corrected it.

In related news, #2 Independent, #6 Top Rap & #12 Top R&B/Hip-Hop.

This is from rapbasement.com

Well Rick Ross only kept his number one spot for one week. Officer Ricky dropped to number three this week after selling just over fifty-thousand copies of "Deeper Than Rap" while Tech N9ne debuts just out of the top ten at #11 with his new "Sickology 101" LP selling close to 25,000 in it's first week. Mike Jones has a disappointing debut, only selling 23,371 copies of his new "Voice" album while Asher Roth's 2nd week dropped him all the way down to 17th with only 22,482 copies sold of his "Asleep In The Bread Aisle."

On the R&B tip, Keri Hilson gained 4 spots to number thirteen this week while Jamie Foxx jumped up 11 spots with just over another 23,000 copies sold. Beyonce keeps her spot at 19 with "I Am... Sasha Fierce" selling another 20k and The-Dream manages to push over 15,000 more copies landing in 31st.
