Hip Hop Sales For 2010

Hiphopdx put together this nifty chart of how well (or how crappy) hip hop sales we’re in 2010. What’s funny to note is that both Eminem and Drake had the highest selling hip hop albums despite even having a platinum selling single (and it looks like Kanye’s going to continue this trend). I’m pretty sure in other genres of music the highest selling singles and highest selling albums go hand in hand.
