Underground mainstays Atmosphere [click to read] killed it this week selling a very impressive 36,300 copies of When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold. This sixth album from Atmosphere has been basking in the glow of outstanding reviews, and landed the #5 spot on the charts this week, dethroning Rick Ross as the top seller for Hip Hop. Atmosphere was beat by a second-week domination by Mariah Carey - who's E=MC2 went gold this week - Leona Lewis, Flight of the Concords, and Ashlee Simpson, respectively. Rick Ross' Trilla comes in at #15 this week, selling 26,700 copies and working towards gold, while Alicia Keys moves up to #24 from #30 despite some negative press revolving around comments made to Blender Magainze about 'gangsta rap' being a conspiracy theory. As I Am sold 16,400 copies this week. Following one spot behind is Danity Kane's Welcome to the Dollhouse at # 25. Diddy's ladies sold 16,100 copies this week.
