CHART SALES: French Montana & Daft Punk
CORRECTION UPDATE: According to Billboard, Daft Punk holds the number one spot with 339K and French Montana gets a spot increase to number 4 with 56K.
****************************************
First off, we must give a slow hand clap to Daft Punk, whose Random Access Memories kicked major ass, selling about 325K and locking in the number one spot on the Billboard chart.
Secondly, we must shake our heads at French Montana’s first week, for the #6 charting Excuse My French (review here) couldn’t even break 50,000 units. To put it into perspective, Hootie & The Blowfish singer Darius Rucker beat him out by over 25,000 units (earning the #2 spot).
We’ll see how French’s album progresses in the coming weeks.
