As the month changes to September so do Da Album charts. The biggest surprise of the week is that Usher didn’t chart higher than 4th. I expected WAY more than only 45K for this EP. 2 reasons: 1) His single with Pitbull is a 2010 pop formula smash around the country (hell if Jason DeRulo, Jay Sean, Taio Cruz etc. can do it why not Mr. Raymond). 2) Hot Tottie with Jay Z is an urban club/mixtape smash that you can’t escape (How many times have you heard “Call Me King Hov Copy” in the last month?). But I did some research and found out why. Sony/Jive (and their greedy asses) put out a deluxe version of Raymond v Raymond where there a bonus disk which is the Versus EP. So as his label is looking to capitalize on 2 albums, they basically split the consumer base and in turn they confused them as to which album is the focus. (F@*king labels and their B.S.) I really wanted a bigger # from Mr. Raymond.

We do have a splash this week GoJu Nation. When the 2 biggest names in Hip-Hop/Rap today get together I guess it would, right? 
Here we go GoJu Nation. Another week, another slow week of album sales. I know the summer is just about over and school is in session but 
End of the week so you know what that means. We gotta get GoJu Nation right with the digi-singles chart. The albums aren’t moving but the singles are. So to see who really making moves/money etc., this is the chart you want to peruse. As I look em over I realize that 18 of the top 20 singles are all in the pop vain. You can debate 
What’s good followers… back for another day on “The Industry”. I bring to you a deep look behind the scenes of 
I have to be honest GoJu Nation. The album charts are in such a bad place, I wasn’t even motivated to give em out to you. I’ve been barking every week about how anemic the overall charts are and it’s just not getting any better. I’m not a fan of being redundant so I’ve been lax in delivering. There just isn’t enough material here. 
Quantifying how much the entertainment industry has changed is difficult. The extent to which the tech industry has flourished is also hard to measure. The only thing consistent about this change is that it is changing. Where there was once a solid path to success, technological advances have opened multiple doors to entertainment opulence (look it up…).
