• Aug 6, 2009

AceShowbiz - Returning with new album "Loso's Way" in 2009, Fabolous reigns Billboard Hot 200 for the first time. With this record which was dropped across U.S. on July 28, the rapper has sold more than 99,000 copies.

Two years ago, Fabolous managed to climb to the second spot of the U.S. albums chart with his set "From Nothin' to Somethin'". At that time, he garnered around 159,000 units within the album's first week on sale.

Sitting behind Fabolous' "Loso's Way" at number 2 on Hot 200 is last week's runner-up DAUGHTRY's "Leave This Town". And, trailing behind DAUGHTRY is Maxwell's "BLACKsummers'night" which also held the same position last week.

While Fabolous sits at the hot spot of Billboard Hot 200, Michael Jackson rules Billboard Top Comprehensive Albums chart with his 2003 effort "Number Ones" and becomes this year's second-best selling album.

The record has sold 114,000 copies this week, adding up to 1,370,000 copies throughout the year so far. It outsells "Hannah Montana: The Movie" soundtrack album (1,338,000) and Eminem's "Relapse" (1,319,000), but is still overshadowed by Taylor Swift's "Fearless" (1,499,000).
