\n\tFor the first time in 14 years, Ice Cube<\/a> has a solo album in the top on Billboard<\/em>\u2019s Top Rap Albums<\/a> as Man Down<\/em> debuts at No. 8 on the chart dated Dec. 7. The set was released Nov. 22 through Lench Mob\/Hitmaker Records and earned 20,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the tracking week ending Nov. 28, according to Luminate.<\/p>\n

\n\tOf the first-week figure, album sales contribute 15,000 units, making Man Down<\/em> the second-highest-selling rap album of the week, behind only Kendrick Lamar\u2019s GNX<\/em> (32,000). The project also debuts at No. 9 on the all-genre Top Album Sales<\/a> chart. Five thousand units derive from the streaming sector, representing 13.9 million official on-demand U.S. audio and video streams of the album\u2019s tracks, with a negligible amount of track-equivalent activity. (One unit equals the following levels of consumption: one album sale, 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid\/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams for a song on the album.)<\/p>\n

\n\tThanks to Man Down<\/em>, Ice Cube earns his fourth solo top 10 on the Top Rap Albums chart, which launched in 2004. It joins 2006\u2019s Laugh Now, Cry Later<\/em> (No. 2), 2008\u2019s one-week No. 1 Raw Footage<\/em> and 2010\u2019s I Am the West<\/em> (No. 6). Plus, N.W.A., the legendary West Coast hip-hop group whose best known lineup consists of Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, Eazy-E, MC Ren and DJ Yella, had The Best of N.W.A.: The Strength of Street Knowledge<\/em> peak at No. 25 in 2007.<\/p>\n
