Two weeks ago, it seemed like the #1 position on Billboard's weekly albums sales chart could have gone to either Guns or Kanye West. The Gun's N Roses album Chinese Democracy was released on November 23, and West's 808s & Heartbreak dropped November 24. It was a battle that pitted one of hip-hop's biggest stars against one of rock's most enigmatic ringleaders, and in the end, GN'R just couldn't contend. When Nielsen SoundScan issued the latest national album sales data on Wednesday (December 3), it was West's latest at #1, opening with sales of more than 450,100, leaving Guns N Roses who performed at 261,200 copies its first week out at #3. Country singer Taylor Swift ended up grabing that #2 slot instead. Trailing in the ranks are Beyonce at #4 and Ludacris at # 5. A good week for Hip Hop...and while Kanye's single might be called Love Lockdown...it's seeming more like a Music Lockdown, and Kanye's got it locked...
