RAT FIGHT—WEASEL FLIGHT!!!

Alicia Keys and Jagged Edge Locked In Tight Battle For #1 As Execs Head For The Hamptons
On a week when the album chart is running down to the wire and excitement is reaching a whole new apex thanks to three contenders for the exalted #1 position….excuse me, are you there? Hello? Hellooooo?

Better try the Hamptons number.

That’s right, fellow holiday vacationers who aren’t anywhere NEAR the office this week, J’s Alicia Keys, Columbia’s Jagged Edge and Shady/Interscope’s D12 are locked in a vicious battle for #1 that won’t be determined until ALL the reports are in…or until we leave early for the holiday.

What’s that? Who cares? You’re by the pool watching reruns of "The Sopranos" on your portable DVD player, while your illegal domestic helper rustles you up some chilled artichoke hearts?

Sorry to bother you.

Well, for all the assistants forced to sit at their desk and run interference for you in case the CEO calls in from the Four Seasons—be aware that Roc-A-Fella/IDJ’s Beanie Sigel is vying for a Top Five debut while Flavahood/EW/EEG’s Lil’ Mo is looking at a Top 20 bow.
There’s a lot of other really important action including…what’s that? Gotta cut us loose because it’s time for your herbal scalp massage? Cool.
