Houston, Texas veteran Slim Thug's third album, Tha Thug Show debuted at #78. Released through E1 Entertainment, the Swishahouse rapper's third studio album features B.o.B., Big K.R.I.T., Yo Gotti and summer verbal sparring partner, Rick Ross. Thug's second album with the indie label follows a lot of success in last year's critically heralded Boss of All Bosses.

Speaking of gold, Miami, Florida's Rick Ross sits less than 700 units away from a gold plaque for his critically-acclaimed fourth album, Teflon Don. The Def Jam album features work from Jay-Z, Kanye West and Cee Lo Green.
Wayne's former protege, Curren$y watched his second album of the year cross the 15,000 mark. Pilot Talk II, released on Damon Dash's imprint through Def Jam distribution, features Raekwon and Spitta's former No Limit label-mate Fiend.
