Tupac's 'Game' Haunts Album Chart At No. 1

Late rapper Tupac Shakur grabs his third posthumous Billboard 200 chart-topper as "Loyal to the Game" (Amaru/Interscope) enters the chart at No. 1. The set, which sold 330,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan, becomes the late rapper's fifth No. 1 on the tally.

Since his 1996 murder, Tupac's album sales total more than 18 million units in the United States, with a career total is 24.4 million. His last posthumous album, "Better Dayz," debuted in 2002 at No. 5 with 366,000 copies; it has sold 1.6 million to date.

Despite rising fortunes for most titles as the gift-giving crunch hit full swing, last week's No. 1, Ludacris' "Red Light District" (Disturbing Tha Peace/Def Jam South), suffered a 34% sales decline to 214,000 and plummets to No. 12 on the chart.

Leading the stocking-stuffer charge is 17th installment of "NOW That's What I Call Music!" (Sony BMG/Universal/EMI/Zomba/Capitol), which makes a 5-2 jump on a 33% gain to sales of 323,000. A 15% increase to 315,000 copies keeps Eminem's "Encore" (Shady/Aftermath/Interscope) secure at No. 3 for a second week, while Shania Twain's Mercury Nashville greatest hits set moves 6-4 on a 31% spike to 311,000.

Though sales rose 7% to 297,000 units, U2's two-week stint at No. 2 with "How To Dismantle an Atomic Bomb" (Interscope) ends with slide to No. 5. Destiny's Child's "Destiny Fulfilled" (Sony Urban/Columbia) jumps 7-6 on a 25% gain to 267,000.

"Concrete Rose," Ashanti's third studio set for The Inc./Def Jam opens at No. 7 with sales of 245,000, becoming her first album of non-holiday material to not debut at No. 1. Last year's "Chapter II" entered at the top with sales of 326,000 copies and has sold 1.5 million to date.

Although sales of Toby Keith's "Greatest Hits 2" (DreamWorks Nashville/Interscope) were 25% larger at 238,000, the set remains moored at No. 8 for a second week. A 41% increase to 237,000 pushes Usher's "Confessions" (LaFace/Zomba) back into the top 10 as it fuels an 11-9 jump. "MTV Ultimate Mash-Ups Presents Jay-Z/Linkin Park: Collision Course" (Machine Shop/Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam) falls 9-10 to round out the top tier despite a 27% rise to sales of 236,000 copies.

Despite his popularity with the "Total Request Live" set, Xzibit's "Weapons of Mass Destruction" (Columbia) settles for a No. 43 debut on sales of 81,000 in its first week. In 2002, the rapper and host of MTV's "Pimp My Ride" saw "Man vs. Machine" start at No. 3 with 156,000 copies; it has sold 596,000 to date.

Think about this way

Prince has a Whole Vault full of material that he's been saving since the seventies

Is Prince Died, than the heir to his estate, his son, wife, any family he leaves in his will gets the vault
now the family, goes to a recording studio using produces
To update the material
via Mastering

2 pac was known to record on a daily basis thus he has alot of demo and outtake material that can be use
the majority of the demos and masters are owned by Death Row Records
, and the heir to his estate Afeni Shakur, allows the transaction of the mastering

you get the top produceer to remaster the outtatkes etc...

Music can be manipulated very easily

to all those extremist who think 2 pac is still alive
sorry to burst your bubble
