After two of the most-anticipated albums of the year thus far were released last Tuesday (January 20), the official Soundscan numbers are in and Joey Bada$$ has the best-selling Hip Hop album in the country. Meanwhile, Lupe Fiasco’s latest album broke into the Top 20 at #14 while Nicki Minaj held steady at #6.

Nicki Minaj Holds On At #6

For a second week in a row, Nicki Minaj’s Pinkprint album is at #6 on the charts with the latest numbers nearly replicating her performance last week. Minaj sold another 27,623 units this past week, bringing her total sold count up to 446,029 since the album’s release last month. If she keeps up with her current sales, Minaj is on pace to break the Gold album milestone in just under two weeks.

Lupe Fiasco At #14

While Lupe Fiasco’s latest album sold less than half the number of albums as his last release did in its first week on the shelves, the 39,281 copies of Tetsuo & Youth Lu pushed this past week were enough to help him into the Top 20 at #14. The album was also streamed 2,382,138 times which helped Lupe’s total activity number peak at 42,458.
