Swizz Beatz, Cartel, Travis all debut in top 30
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
It was a good week for metro Atlanta acts on the Billboard CD charts, with hip-hop, rock and country all represented.
Atlanta producer Swizz Beatz landed at No. 7 with his first solo album “One Man Ban Man,” which sold 45,000 copies its first week out, according to Nielsen/SoundScan in a story on Billboard.com.
Those sales also placed Swizz Beatz at the top of the R&B/hip-hop CD sales chart.
Local rock band Cartel, which holed itself up in a New York City “bubble” in May and June (sponsored by Dr. Pepper) and recorded its self-titled CD, sold a respectable 28,000 copies last week and opened at No. 20.
Country veteran and Georgia boy Travis Tritt followed close behind with his soulful-country hybrid indie-released CD “The Storm,” which debuted at No. 28 and sold 23,000 copies.
The soundtrack to Disney phenom sequel “High School Musical 2” slipped a relatively modest 40 percent in sales from week one and moved 367,000 copies, keeping it at No. 1.
