FIRST WEEK SALES ARE IN FOR MAC MILLER & WALE

Maybach Music Group rapper Wale's Ambition debuted on the charts at No. 2. After seven days in stores, the LP has sold 164,100 copies. This is what Wale had to say about his successful first week via twitter.... "163k! I love my fans .. I'm so grateful.. Thank you Thank you... I'm speechless hip hop for life #mmg #boa," Wale tweeted November 8th. "We did it RT @WaleNation: We did it 163K!! Congrats @Wale!#Ambition" (Wale's Twitter)

Wale wasnt the only one to rake in great sales this week,  Rostrum Records rapper Mac Miller's Blue Slide Park, distributed digitally by INgrooves and physically by Fontana, will debut at #1 smack dab in the middle of Q4, with estimates of between 175-185k, which might even be conservative. This is a triumph of social networking and good, new-fashioned viral marketing, as Malcolm McCormick, the son of a Christian architect father and Jewish mother photographer, transforms his combined 2.7 millionTwitter, Facebook and MySpace followers into an impressive debut....Im not really shocked on the sales, I even expected more from Mac Miller being that he has this huge cult following behind him..Congrats to both Camps this is a good look for HIP HOP!...thoughts?
