"Pac's Life" first week sales are disappointing but expected.

Article: Jay-Z Reclaims His 'Kingdom' With No. 1 Debut

Hip-hop excerpt:

With scores of major new releases hitting shelves last week in time for post-Thanksgiving shopping, Jay-Z's "Kingdom Come" came out on top of The Billboard 200. The Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam set moved a whopping 680,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan, the ex-retiree's biggest sales week ever, as well as his ninth No. 1 on the chart. He thusly ties the Rolling Stones for the third-most No. 1s, behind the Beatles with 19 and Elvis Presley with 10.

...

Snoop Dogg earns his ninth top 10 album with "Tha Blue Carpet Treatment" (Doggystyle/Geffen) at No. 5 with 264,000. Sales were fueled in part by the single "I Wanna Love You," performed by Akon and featuring Snoop. The track also appears on Akon's "Konvicted," which debuted last week at No. 1 but falls to No. 8 with 164,000. It was the only record in the top 10 to post a sales decrease (-42%).

Beyonce's "B'Day" experiences a major bounce back into the upper echelons of the chart, moving 9-6 with a 154% sales swell to 173,000 units. The soundtrack to Disney's "Hannah Montana" enjoys a 47% lift to 167,000 but still drops 5-7. Late rapper Tupac Shakur's "Pac's Life" (Amaru/Interscope) enters at No. 9 with 159,000, his 14th entry on The Billboard 200 since his 1996 murder.

-------------------------
I guess Pacs Life Albums sold well due to black friday and thanksgiving and the sales made his album a ridiculously low price of only $9.99 at your local FYE or many other stores. At such a low price its worth it, even if it is really only 7 new songs. I think circuit City and Best buy also have the new tupac album for about $9.99.
