that week and orders them from 1 (most 
sold by any artist in the world) to 500 
(the person who had the 500th highest 
amount of records sold this week). This 
sites weekly top 15 is a result of the 
hightest selling r&b and rap CDs. 
  Artist that make music in Rap & R&B 
form BUT with no fan base in the R&B or 
Rap community are not listed. For Example, 
although Crazy Town is a rap group 
most of the people who buy thier tapes are 
into Pop/Rock music so they will not be 
listed here.
