For a third non-consecutive week, Lil Wayne's "Tha Carter III" (Cash Money/Universal) tops The Billboard 200. The set moved 125,000 copies during the tracking week, according to Nielsen SoundScan, a 20% drop in sales from the week previous.
Coldplay's "Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends" (Capitol) sits tight at No. 2 for a second week with 113,000 (-25%) while the Jonas Brothers-led soundtrack to Disney's "Camp Rock" keeps the No. 3 spot warm with 88,000 (-23%).
This slow buying trend bodes well for Nas' new release as the belagured rapper sorely needs a #1. Rumor has it, if this album comes in outside of the top three, the rappers deal, now not suported by longtime "frienemy" presidential Jay, will be allowed to lapse.
Stay tuned.
