Rick Ross Narrowly Misses 4th Consecutive #1 Album

Rick Ross “B.M.F.” momentum wasn’t enough to overcome Eminem’s Recovery, as the Miami emcee’s Teflon Don debuted at #2 on Billboard’s Top 200.

Yesterday, Rick Ross appeared to have secured the #1 spot with a very small sales lead of 188,816 to 187,968 on Hits Daily Double. However, a final tally modified the list to give Eminem’s the #1 spot for the 5th consecutive week with 187,968 to Ross’ 176,000.

The debut ends Rick Ross’ steak of consecutive #1 albums at three for Port of Miami, Trilla, and Deeper Than Rap. His first week sales are an improvement on last year’s Deeper Than Rap, which debuted on the charts with 158,000 copies.

Rick Ross and Eminem are joined by Drake and Big Boi as the only rappers currently in Billboard’s Top 20.

Teflon Don has received mostly positive reviews from critics, holding a “universal acclaim” score of 82 by review compiling site Metacritic.
