Nelly Unseats Eminem From No. 1 Spot
It’s getting hot on the album chart for Nelly. The rapper unseated “The Eminem Show,” which has been No. 1 for the past five weeks.
“Nellyville,” which includes the No. 1 single “Hot in Herre,” sold about 717,000 copies in its first week in stores, according to industry figures released Wednesday.
Nelly’s second album topped Eminem’s latest release, which has dominated the album chart since it came out on May 26. “The Eminem Show” dropped to No. 2 this week, selling another 308,000 copies for a total of 3.6 million.
Another rapper didn’t fare nearly so well. Will Smith’s “Born to Reign” debuted at No. 13, selling only about 60,000 copies. The disc features the song “Black Suits Comin'” from Smith’s movie “Men in Black II,” the sequel to the 1997 blockbuster “Men in Black,” which opened Wednesday.
