Hello,
Let's keep it all orderly in one big thread, right?
This week, How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb slips to #5 on the Billboard Album 200 with sales of 297,000 copies. Although this is an increase of 7% from last week's sales, it's less than what the numbers 2, 3 & 4 had.
Here's the Billboard article about it:

I'm sure others will have more info later.
C ya!

Tupac's 'Game' Haunts Album Chart At No. 1
Late rapper Tupac Shakur grabs his third posthumous Billboard 200 chart-topper as "Loyal to the Game" (Amaru/Interscope) enters the chart at No. 1. The set, which sold 330,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan, becomes the late rapper's fifth No. 1 on the tally.
Since his 1996 murder, Tupac's album sales total more than 18 million units in the United States, with a career total is 24.4 million. His last posthumous album, "Better Dayz," debuted in 2002 at No. 5 with 366,000 copies; it has sold 1.6 million to date.
Despite rising fortunes for most titles as the gift-giving crunch hit full swing, last week's No. 1, Ludacris' "Red Light District" (Disturbing Tha Peace/Def Jam South), suffered a 34% sales decline to 214,000 and plummets to No. 12 on the chart.
Leading the stocking-stuffer charge is 17th installment of "NOW That's What I Call Music!" (Sony BMG/Universal/EMI/Zomba/Capitol), which makes a 5-2 jump on a 33% gain to sales of 323,000. A 15% increase to 315,000 copies keeps Eminem's "Encore" (Shady/Aftermath/Interscope) secure at No. 3 for a second week, while Shania Twain's Mercury Nashville greatest hits set moves 6-4 on a 31% spike to 311,000.
Though sales rose 7% to 297,000 units, U2's two-week stint at No. 2 with "How To Dismantle an Atomic Bomb" (Interscope) ends with slide to No. 5. Destiny's Child's "Destiny Fulfilled" (Sony Urban/Columbia) jumps 7-6 on a 25% gain to 267,000.
