(Week Ending On 3/6/12) Debuting at #3 is Kid Cudi and Dot Da Genius’ WZRD (G.O.O.D./Universal Republic) project that sold just over 70,000 units despite the public outcry from the Cleveland native that his label massively undershipped the album. It appears that although the numbers are nowhere near his previous debuts, Man On the Moon and Man On the Moon II (G.O.O.D./Universal Republic), the fans still showed support for Mr. Solo Dolo despite his label’s misgivings.

After setting a record last week for having three albums in the Top 10, this week, Houston’s music continues to break records with a currect four albums in the Top 10. Houston’s Greatest Hits (RCA) sold 109,735 units and came in at #2 while her soundtrack to the film The Bodyguard (RCA) sold 44,266 units, landing the soundtrack at the #4 spot. Coming in at #9 and #10 are Whitney Houston (RCA) and I Look To You (RCA). The former sold 25,834 copies while the latter saw a 15 percent sales increase from the week prior, moving just under 25,000 copies. In addition to this feat, the singer has four more albums all charting between the #24 and #36 spots this week. Young Money rapper Tyga, who debuted at #4 last week, dropped three spots to #7, selling 35,268 copies of his album, Careless World: Rise Of The Last King (YM/Cash Money/Universal Republic).

The former sold 23,719 units and saw an 8 percent sales decrease, while the latter sold just over 20,000 units and saw an 11 percent sales decrease. Coming in one spot lower than last week at #26 is Young Jeezy’s fourth offering TM103 (Def Jam), which sold approximately 15,000 units. The rapper’s Gold-certified TM103 has experienced healthy sales since its release; Young Jeezy is currently on the road with his Hustlerz Ambition tour, which has been selling out at venues nationwide.

Kid Cudi And Dot Da Genius Announce New EP And Tour For Their Group WZRD
(AllHipHop News) Rapper Kid Cudi and his producing partner Dot Da Genius have recently put the finishing touches on their upcoming album, WZRD, which is set for release on February 28. As both the fans and the artists wait for the project to hit store shelves, Cudi and Dot have been working on a ton of new music which will be packaged after the album’s release as a five-track EP. The announcement was made Monday night (February 13) at a listening party for the album that was being held in Hollywood, CA. Cudi had the following to say to the crowd about WZRD and what their next moves are, “We are doing an EP already and it’s going to be coming out in a couple months. We just can’t stop making records. I made a new record the other day that’s really, really, really phenomenal. So we’re gonna put out this five-track EP just to f*ckin’ put out some jams.” In addition to the album and EP, the duo plan to embark on a worldwide tour starting in April that will first hit Europe and then head back to the states. When asked about the global touring plans, Cudi responded, “this album is something the world needs to hear.” Kid Cudi will also be featured on the upcoming soundtrack to the film, The Hunger Games. Cudi created an original song for the album titled “The Ruler and The Killer.” The film’s official soundtrack will be in stores on March 20, while the film will open worldwide three days later on March 23.
Kid Cudi Delays Release Of His Rock-Inspired Album “WZRD” To February
(AllHipHop News) Kid Cudi and producing partner Dot Da Genius have announced the delay of their upcoming, rock-inspired album, WZRD. The album was originally set for release on January 30 – the same day as Cudi’s birthday – but will now be hitting retailers on February 28. Dot Da Genius revealed the news on Twitter last night (January 16) with the following message: “Hey Guys, WZRD Update. Me and Cudi have been working on our debut album and it’s almost near completion. We are in the final stages of mastering but we really had to take time and pay attention to the sonics as this is new territory for us. With that being said, we have decided to change the release date. We are looking roughly at Feb 28th. Y’all know how Cudi is’ and I’m the same way. Everything has to be in place and now it is. I know it’s late notice, we were trying to keep the date but got wrapped up making this album perfect for y’all. However for making you guys wait a little longer we will release ‘Brake‘ & ‘Teleport 2 Me‘ on iTunes on the previously said date. AS WELL AS ‘DOSE OF DOPENESS‘. Hopefully that will hold you guys over until the album drops!” Cudi followed up Dot’s announcement with a tweet of his own: “My whole career Ive had 2 prove people wrong, WZRD will be no different. This album will finally make people believers, WE CAN DO ANYTHING.” Previously-released tracks will be available for purchase on iTunes on January 30, with WZRD hitting store shelves on February 28th.

Kid Cudi Releases Intense Short Film for “Maniac”
Rapper, singer, and actor Scott “Kid Cudi” Mescudi released a short film for his Man On the Moon II track, “Maniac.” The film, released appropriately on Halloween, documents “two serial killers,” played by Cudi and Chris “Cage” Palko in French mode, and “their exploits;” however, it does not actually feature music from the song itself. Instead, the film features a score created by Kid Cudi and frequent collaborator Dot Da Genius, along with direction by Shia Lebeouf, who has starred in all three Transformers films. Cudi said the following upon the film’s release: “MANIAC is a short film inspired by the song. It is not a music video and it has no reference to the song content. It will be scored by Dot and I as a film with all new music. Directed By Shia Labeof for Grassy Slope and Ragin4Dayz Productions.” [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVemNLOwCJ0&w=560&h=315] Back in August, Cudi announced that he would be scrapping a previously announced mixtape, instead focusing on his next two new albums. The first, Wizard, is the debut of 2 Continnum, a rock band that Cudi founded with Dot Da Genius, and is set for release some time this winter, as is Cudi’s Man on the Moon III.
