Ne-Yo Debuts With 250k Records Sold While Nelly Sells 84k

Starting right behind at No. 2 is Ne-Yo’s “Year of the
Gentleman” with 250,000. The Def Jam effort comes on the heels of two
No. 1 bows for the artist: 2006 debut “In My Own Words” (301,000) and
2007’s “Because of You” (251,000).
Nelly’s “Brass Knuckles” (Derrty/Universal Motown), the rapper’s
first studio set since 2004, enters at No. 3 on The Billboard 200 with
84,000. Four years ago, he dropped two separate albums on the same day
— “Suit” and “Sweat” - which debuted at Nos. 1 and 2 with 396,000 and
342,000, respectively.
