 Aaliyah
Tops the album Charts
(MTV
News)
Music fans mourning the passing of
Aaliyah and those curious about her legacy will push the
late R&B star to the top of next week's Billboard 200
albums chart.Despite strong debuts from Mary J. Blige and
Slipknot, Aaliyah's eponymous album will vault to #1 on the
albums chart next week, a month and a half after its initial
release. The singer died August 25 in a plane crash that
claimed the lives of eight others Sales of Aaliyah jumped
from 62,000 copies during the week of her death to 305,000
copies in the week that followed, bumping the album up from
#19. Aaliyah debuted at #2 upon its release in July and
dropped as low as #27 two weeks ago. Renewed interest in the
late singer will also push the "Romeo Must Die" soundtrack
album (which features several Aaliyah tracks) back onto the
chart at #164.The sales surge also places Aaliyah just ahead
of hip-hop diva Mary J. Blige, who will debut at #2 on next
week's chart with No More Drama. Blige's fifth studio album
sold more than 294,000 copies in its first week in
stores.Close behind are the masked men of Slipknot, who sold
more than 254,000 copies of their latest effort, Iowa, to
debut next week at #3. The debut is impressive for the
hard-edged heartland metal outfit but falls short of
industry speculation that placed the first-week tally at
350,000-500,000. For The complete story go to

 Jay-Z
Dogged By Bootleggers Again, The Blueprint To Come Early
September 5, 6 p.m. ET,
SonicNet Brian Hiatt and Shaheem Reid
It seems that if Jay-Z wants to
keep his future albums from hitting the streets before their
proper release dates, he'll have to hire a security detail
that rivals the size of the secret service team in his video
for "Izzo (H.O.V.A.)." Bootleggers in New York started
selling two versions of Jay's album The Blueprint last week,
and on Tuesday (September 4), Def Jam announced that it has
once again pushed the LP's release date up one week, this
time from September 18 to September 11. The Blueprint was
originally set for release September 25, though that was
changed by Def Jam and that date was given to DMX's The
Great Depression. X's album has since been moved to October
23. Def Jam does not cite the illegal street vending of the
album as provocation for The Blueprint's switch. In a
statement, the label said the change was "due to
overwhelming demand by consumers and retailers alike."

 Twin
Rappers Kane & Abel Sentenced To Three Years
- September 18, 5 p.m. ET,
Launch
U.S. District Court Judge Sarah
Vance gave identical twin rappers Kane & Abel (David and
Daniel Garcia) the maximum sentence of three years in jail
as part of plea agreement last Wednesday (September 12). The
twins pleaded guilty to the charge of misprision of a felony
and will begin their sentence on October 10. Judge Vance
rejected an earlier plea agreement that would have called
for only 24 months of jail time.Kane & Abel's charges
stem from their involvement with reputed drug kingpin
Richard Pena, who reportedly financed the twins' recording
career while they were aspiring artists attending Xavier
University. Pena was arrested in 1997 and is currently
serving time for committing eight murders. As the twins'
recording career failed to take off, they apparently became
in debt to Pena and distributed narcotics for him to work
off their debt from 1996 to 1997. Kane & Abel are
scheduled to release their next album, Most Wanted Boys, on
October 9, the day before their jail sentence is scheduled
to begin. The set features guest appearances from Juvenile
and Snoop Dogg. The twins now record for their own Most
Wanted Records, and have put a plan in place that will keep
the label afloat while they serve their jail time. The
twins' best selling album to date was the gold-certified Am
I My Brothers Keeper?, which was released on No
Limit
Records in 1998.-- Yves Salomon, New York
