| | Rolling Stone : Jay-Z Tops 2Pac, G-Unit |
 | | Naked, punk-pop stars Blink-182's self-titled fifth album and the embattled Michael Jackson's new greatest hits album Number Ones all hit the charts. |
 | | To counteract bootlegging -- and perhaps drum up publicity -- both The Black Album and Beg for Mercy, from 50 Cent's G-Unit crew, were released last Friday instead of this past Tuesday, so they did not enjoy a full opening week. |
