Taking the No. 51 position this week is Gnarls Barkley. Gnarls have been bangin' it out consistently, as St. Elsewhere stands only steps away from the one million mark. This week, the duo have made off with 19,000 copies, with the total finishing off at 984,700.

On the R&B side of things, Robin Thicke debuts in the pits, Sleepy Brown follows suit, Justin Timberlake continues the saga, Janet Jackson stays in the top ten, Fergie slows down, Beyonce slips and Danity Kane tumble.

Rick Ross
In this week's Hip-Hop Charts, Rick Ross holds down the "Port of Miami," Obie Trice debuts in second place, and Gnarls Barkley continues their movement.
Stepping down six seats this week but holding on to the top spot at No. 7 is Rick Ross. Port of Miami is doing well in its second week, with 78,700 copies sold. The second single, "Push It," is still making its way through airplay, contributing to the 266,600 units sold to date.
Debuting on the Hip-Hop Charts this week is Obie Trice, coming in at No. 8. The long awaited sophomore album, Second Round's on Me, has finally hit the rap scene, and features collabos with Eminem, Akon, Trey Songz, Nate Dogg, and 50 Cent. Obie's second solo set moved 74,200 CDs in its first week.
Keeping the movement moving in the top three this week is Gnarls Barkley holding down the No. 11 position. The duo has hit 772,200 sold after 14 weeks, as "Crazy" continues to dominate the airwaves and hip-hop competition. This week, the duo has made off with 50,100 units, just a few short of 53,700 last week.
Dropping six positions on the charts this week is Yung Joc, settling for the No. 21 spot. The southern rapper has continued getting it in for the Bad Boy brand, rounding off his digits for Yung Joc City to 605,900 after 11 weeks on the move. The week-in total reads off at 33,800.
Taking a sixteen-foot drop this week is DMX, tumbling hard to No. 25 this week. After losing his seat at No. 9 just last week, X has nearly fallen game to the rap race, but has still managed to pull off 28,100 copies this week. Year of the Dog, Again is still being uplifted with "Give Me a Sign," finishing off the total at 201,900.
Next up is Pharrell, coming in at No. 36 this week. Skateboard P is rolling down the charts at a steady pace, as "Number One" continues to represent well in airplay and decent video spins. This week, the second half of The Neptunes is in tune at 22,900, bringing the total for In My Mind to 247,500 after 4 weeks on the charts.
Hitting up No. 50 this week is Busta Rhymes. The Brooklyn rapper has finally hit official gold status, as the numbers for The Big Bang reads off at 503,500 in week nine. The 7-day cycle has ended this week at a limp 16,300.
Debuting on the Hip-Hop Charts this week is reggae star Cham, taking the No. 53 spot. The Alicia Keys-featured "Ghetto Story," the lead single for the latest effort from the reggae heavy-hitter that bares the same title as the song, has hit the airwaves hard but only gathered enough interest to take in 15,375 disappointing units. The Atlantic recording artist, who is a veteran in the game, has also collaborated with Akon on his latest LP.
Stepping his game up at No. 66 this week is E-40. "U and Dat" appears to be doing well, bringing E up ten positions on the charts this week. This week, My Ghetto Report Card has finished off the week-in total at 12,800, moving a slow 398,600 discs in total.
Ten steps below is T.I., tumbling twenty-one slots on the charts to land at No. 76. The ATL rap star is losing his platinum power, but is still managing with 11,800 CDs sold this week. To date, King is still occupying the throne at 1,442,700.
In closing, Chamillionaire stalls, Ice Cube freezes, and Sean Paul steps it up. This week, Chamillionaire falls thirteen slots to claim No. 77, despite the release of his new single "Grown and Sexy." Looks like Cham isn't appealing to the ladies too much this week, with a declining 11,700 copies sold this week, compared to 13,600 sold last week. The total for the Houston rep reads 1,148,000. Taking No. 84 this week is Ice Cube. The West Side rider has taken a twenty-foot sky dive on the charts, just barely managing 10,600 copies this week. Cube has sold a total of 408,500 units. Moving down one step to No. 85 this week is Sean Paul. The total for The Trinity rounds off at 1,165,000, with the week-in total finishing off at 10,500.
Next week look for OutKast to dominate the charts with the soundtrack to their movie Idlewild.
