Yes, I’m aware today is the 20th, but the numbers came out yesterday.

4. Bruno Mars – Doo Wops & Hooligans – 32,000 – Clap for this man. With this numbers, Bruno is officially gold and he hasn’t even released “The Lazy Song.” That last part was just me thinking wishfully.

5. Nicki Minaj – Pink Friday – 32,000 – So they’re not taking my advice on the “Moment 4 Life” video. That’s fine, at least Nicki and I are on the same wavelength about moving forward with it as a single.

8. Rihanna – Loud – 28,000 – I read somewhere that this is actually the top selling album in the world at one point this year. And within a few weeks, it will be platinum here in America as well. The video for “S&M” is on the way. She needs to go ahead and make an executive decision and put J. Cole’s verse in the video although it’s not on the album. Sort of like how the powers that be did for Drake on “Aston Martin Music.”

10. Kanye West – My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy – 25,000 – Let this man tweet and be great!

24. T.I. – No Mercy – 15,000 – Let this man have relations with his wife in prison if need be! Most people have given up and moved on from this album. But Tip doesn’t get out until like September. Something has to be done to keep his name at least on the minds of people until then. Is there a “Castle Walls” video stored somewhere?

27. Lil Wayne – I Am Not A Human Being – 12,000 – This is around the 700K sold mark. Solid enough. Next up however: Tha Carter IV.

55. KiD CuDi – Man On The Moon 2: The Legend Of Mr. Rager – “Trapped In My Mind” was one of my favorite songs of 2010. Is it a single? Who knows, but that hook is infectious as hell.

106. B.o.B. – The Adventures of Bobby Ray – 4,100 – This brings the total to exactly 500,000 and the wins keep piling up for the current face of Grand Hustle.

Just for kicks, expect Eminem to be officially 3.5 million copies deep in Recovery.
