We end the work week off right GoJu Nation by providing you with the Digi-Singles chart. Let me start by giving a HUGE GothamJungle apology for being lax in supplying you with this listing. It’s the industry standard and deserves more respect. I’ll personally take a more involved effort to get you this chart more efficiently. Now lets see what we’re really looking at here.

Everyone is jumping on the cloud train these days. Apple has iCloud, Microsoft has their cloud services such as Office 365, Google has Google, lol. In additional to those, other companies are developing services that takes the space off your device and in the cloud. I am 50/50 on this idea, I feel some things can go cloud but other things need to stay private. It could just be my paranoia as a tech guy, but I digress. If you want that new hot sauce, it is not in the iCloud (sorry Apple), get up on Box. Read more, Click here...
I’m not gonna let the week escape me without taking care of GoJu Nation. Here are your album charts… Another bleak sales week team. As a barometer, remember that if the 20th album in the country is under fifteen thousand in units, then it’s a down week for sure. Longevity is the key with this chart listing. And your album will have to contain multiple gems to keep this generations attention. It’s worth mentioning that projects in other mediums also have a huge impact on sales. This movie ‘The Hunger Games‘ has officially launched a new franchise. Teenagers went to see this movie 2 & 3 times meaning their money went to popcorn, soda, junk and cinema not music. And when they did buy music it was the soundtrack to the movie. So don’t look at this in a vacuum GoJu Nation. Be aware that other outlets are out there gobbling up the disposable income. Now onto da actual charts. Read more, Click here...

~Q’ban – I must say I enjoyed the album. Diggy has smooth transitions in his lyrical flow, coupled with solid, tranciant production that fits his vibe perfectly. Your hear the influence of the “now” and the restraint of the “then”. Young Diggy’s first release is hitting the ground running. He is no Drake copy… no Pharrell fake… and definitely not his pops. Diggy has carved a new (yes i said new) lane for himself. Strong concepts, clean lyrical delivery, commercial but very street textured. Rap with great R&B tones…. This guy with the right promotion could be GREAT. Read more, Click here...
Yasiin Bey (Mos Def) recently touched down in Paris to promote his upcoming show with Talib Kweli at La Bataclan on March 9. The acclaimed rapper paid a visit to Nova radio during his stay in the French capital and laced the airwaves with some impressive wordplay while clutching his patented red Unidyne microphone in doing so. It also should be noted the beat belongs to the late great J-Dilla, peep above and see how it stacks up to his recent live versions of this record. Read more, Click here...
NCAA tournament has the blog compass off a bit. But you do get your album charts before the end of the week. Noticeably, I see the 1st four ( almost five ) albums breaking the 100k download mark. Very encouraging. Also of note, afterwards the drop off in sales is drastic (#20 not moving at least 15k?!?!, pathetic). Just when these charts get my juices flowing, they let me down. GothamJungle did speak in its infancy that the paradigm has shifted from albums to singles, I’m just nostalgic for the album genre to still dictate the landscape. I’ll have to let that go. On to the actual charts GoJu Nation…. Read more, Click here...
