A look at the week in rap and R&B sales and chart placements.


With Adele taking the #1 spot again this week, the top-selling album in the country alludes the hip hop industry. It wasn't a total loss though, however, as Rihanna jumps from #3 to #2 with her newest record ANTI. Does Rihanna have what it takes to beat out Adele next week? Time will tell...
Yo Gotti showed up strong with the release  of his fifth album The Art of Hustle, debuting at #4 and moving 45k+ units in pure sales. The Weeknd and Kendrick Lamar continue to see success from their big Grammy wins, and newcomers like Bryson Tiller and Kevin Gates continue to go hard with their debut studio records. Fetty Wap and J. Cole are sticking around the top 25, while Future slips pretty quickly after debuting at #1.
