Flo Rida's Mail On Sunday is back in the top 30 with 15,600 copies and a #27 spot, while Snoop Dogg's Ego Trippin' still has yet to break 300k in its seventh week on the charts. Snoop came in at #35 this week with 13,200 sold (for a total of about 291,300). Prodigy's H.N.I.C Pt 2 debuted at #36 this week with 12,900 sold, as Gnarls Barkley's The Odd Couple loses steam once again.

The duo dropped from #20 to #47 with 10,600 copies sold this week. Despite RIAA reports that Lupe Fiasco's The Cool went gold, Nielsen Soundscan shows the Chicago rapper selling just over 467,000 copies. As reported by DX last week [click to read], RIAA reports sales from outlets that Soundscan doesn't. Bizzy Bone's A Song For You debuted at #148 with 4,200 sold while Lyrics Born also finds a spot on the Top 200 at #192. Everywhere At Once, the seventh LP from the half-Japanese American, half-Italian American rapper sold 3,300 copies.
