Jeezy has earned the top position on the charts according to the Nielsens SoundScan selling over 256,000 albums of his highly anticipated third Def Jam release. Following up his platinum-selling disc The Inspiration, Jeezy took todays times and decided to approach the album in a more serious tone.

“The economy is different, Jeezy told SOHH in a previous interview. “The world is different so I just wanted to address it [and] at the same time still make good music.

His newest release offers a steady line-up of mega rap stars including Kanye West, Jay-Z, Nas plus R&B crooners Trey Songz and Anthony Hamilton.

Soulful singer Donnie Klang, known for his on-screen talent from Diddys “Making The Band 4 reached No. 19, as his first studio album Just a Rolling Stone sold over 22,000 units. Klang recently described the excitement and anxiety he had over his long-awaited effort hitting stores.

“Its more so that Im anxious, he told SOHH. “I cant wait til its really out there and everybody could hear it front to back. I know theres a lot of fans out there that have been waiting for a long time for it to come out and its finally coming.

The album places Klang alongside hitmakers Mario Winans, The Dream, Channel 7, Diddy and others.

Actor-turned-singer Terrence Howard also debuted his album Shine Through It, which landed at No. 31 on the charts. The Academy Award-nominated performer has reportedly worked on the project since March 2007 and helped his first-ever release sell around 14,000 copies.
