"Danity Kane" falls from #2 to #4, still moving a solid 82,000 units, pushing them up to 434,000. They should be past 500,000 in 2 weeks, tops.

Yung Joc's "New Joc City" continues his strong numbers with 27,000, in at #28. He's not at 691,000. Can he get to 1,000,000? It seems possible because of "I Know You See It" having the success that it is. If he can average 21,000 units sold for the final 15 weeks of this year, he'll pass it before we get to 2007.

Finally, "Cassie" continues to fall, in at #57 with 15,000 albums sold. She's at 199,000 overall.

AventuraUSA.com has pictures of Diddy, Cassie, Yung Joc and Danity Kane at what appears to be a press conference/event for the NFL kickoff celebration.

You can watch it below. Like I said, a good performance. I liked it better watching it the second time, actually, for whatever that is worth.

I just watched Diddy's performance right before my Dolphins go up against the Steelers. Overall, it was a good performance. He performed "Come to Me" with an alternate beat of sorts. I wish he would have used the regular version of the song just because I like it better.

It was pretty clear that he was lip syncing (a little more apparent than it should have been) and he brought out Cassie and Danity Kane to lip sync the female/group parts of the song. I didn't see Yung Joc. For a 5 minute performance, though, it was a pretty big production. Large band on stage, like 6-8 dancers that shadowed Diddy, lots of lights and fireworks. It was a good routine. If the lip syncing was on point, it would have been a great one. Like I said, though, a good performance.

Edit: Actually, in watching the video again, Yung Joc was the hype man. You can see him when Diddy moves out to the circle in a white shirt (and also behind Cassie and 2 of the Danity Kane girls in a later shot).

The latest Hot 100 chart is in and Bad Boy has remained pretty firm. "Me & U" fell from #7 to #10. "I Know You See It" jumped up 1 spot from #20 to #19. "Show Stopper" made a pretty good fall from #8 to #20. "It's Goin' Down" is at #28, down from #26.

Just a reminder. Tonight at 8:00 PM ET on NBC, Diddy is headlining the NFL Kickoff concert. Cassie, Yung Joc and Danity Kane will all be there. Diddy will be performing "Come to Me".

Should be fun.

Danity Kane's second week sales are in and the big (bigger than usual) drop that a bunch of bored people were probably hoping for just didn't happen. They sold 117,359 units, the 2nd best selling album of the week with only the one and only Bob Dylan topping them with his first week. That makes for a total of 351,981. With any luck, they'll have gold sales in 2 weeks time.

Yung Joc continued his strong sales, dropping only a little (about 2,000 less), in with 27,925. 663,772 is his total.

Finally, Cassie's numbers continue to shrink, as he only sold 17,736 copies in her 4th week. That gives her a total of 184,033.

We don't know all of the details, but I think there are a couple of simple facts. 1. Mase has signed a legally binding contract with Bad Boy. 2. 50 Cent hasn't offered enough, in Diddy's eyes, to trade for Mase. So, with that in mind, I am going to simplify this argument a bit. Throw out anything you think about Diddy and 50. Clean slate. Pick a piece of property that you own that has some sort of value. Now, imagine this scenario:

Some Guy: "Hello, I want to buy that piece of property that you own. How much?"
You: "I want $500 for it."
Some Guy: "Well, I don't want to pay that. I'll give you $300."
You: "No, sorry. I want $500."
Some Guy: "Just give it to me for $300."
You: "No."
Some Guy: "Despite the fact that it is your property that you have a right to sell at the price of your choosing, I'm going to pretend that that isn't true and I'm recording a diss track."
You: "Have at it."

Some Guy is 50 Cent. You are Diddy. Mase's recording rights are a piece of property. If you still think Diddy should just let Mase go or go for whatever 50 Cent is offering... I'd like to visit your house and buy some things.

Last night at the VMAs, Hype Williams was honored with the Video Vanguard award. It was cool because when they started to air a sort of montage of videos that he has directed, the first 3 that they displayed had Diddy in them (and he was shown in the screen). They were "Big Poppa," "Flava In Ya Ear (Remix)" and "Hate Me Now." Then there were two videos without Diddy and then there was another one in "Mo Money Mo Problems."

When you consider how far back that goes and how those videos helped propel both Hype Williams and Bad Boy, it was strange that he didn't thank Diddy, but did thank Jay-Z, Nas, Kelis, Beyonce, Busta, Missy and others. The last two were understandable, given that they were part of a bringing the videos life thing where Busta performed "Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See" and Missy performed "The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)" with Timbaland, both of which were cool to see. Still, it was strange given the number of Bad Boy videos has done. I don't like to read into things, so I'll guess that it was just an omission.

Bad Boy's got 2 in the top 10 again. "Me & U" fell 1 spot from #6 to #7 while "Show Stopper" jumped up 8 spots, moving from 17 up to 8. "I Know You See It" fell from #19 to #20 and "It's Goin' Down" went from #20 to #26.
