YOU CAN BANKS ON IT!!

50 Cent posse member Lloyd Banks obviously has a Hunger for More, as the rapper’s debut G-Unit/Interscope album is #1 for a second consecutive week.

In a slow retail week that was anywhere from 12-15% off with only one notable new release in J/RMG’s Angie Stone, which bows at #13, Banks tops LaFace/ZLG’s perennial entry Usher as the only two albums over 100k.

The rest of the Top 10 includes Epic/Sony Nashville’s Gretchen Wilson (#3), Interscope’s Jadakiss (#4), Columbia/SMS’ Spider-Man 2 soundtrack (#5), Warner Bros. Nashville’s Big & Rich (#15-6 on a 21% gain), Arista/RMG’s Avril Lavigne (#7), RCA/RMG’s Velvet Revolver (#8), Blackground/Universal’s JoJo (#9) and Capitol’s Beastie Boys (#10).

BMG and UMG each have three in the Top 10 (two on Interscope), while Sony has two.

Aside from soul diva Stone, other chart debuts come from Arista Nashville’s Brad Paisley (#32) and Epic’s Brad Cotter (#37).

In addition to Big & Rich’s double-digit rise, Geffen’s Guns N’ Roses moves #49-25, with an amazing 41% gain, while A&M/Interscope’s Black-Eyed Peas, with the album re-released to include the NBA promo anthem, "Let’s Get It Started," is also up (#27-15, +20%).

Look for RCA Nashville’s Jimmy Buffett, Hollwood Records’ A Cinderella Story soundtrack, Bad Boy/Universal’s Da Band, Geffen’s The Roots, Virgin’s Beenie Man and Elektra’s Metallica to hit the charts. In addition, Hollywood Records’ up-and-comers Polyphonic Spree, Virgin soul star Ricky Fante and promising Geffen band Sparta also came out in stores today.
