3. Lupe Fiasco – Lasers – 47,000 – The album that almost never happened appears to be doing quite well in the sales department. Too bad the reviews haven’t matched the numbers however. That being said, I wouldn’t mind seeing them actually push “Words I Never Said” with Skylar Grey.

4. Travis Barker – Give The Drummer Some – 28,000 – Regardless of what this album eventually goes on to sale (it feels like it could have been promoted better; that’s not Barker’s fault though), Travis will still be one of the cooler musicians on the planet. That record he has with the Clipse and Kobe is mean though.

10. Marsha Ambrosius – Late Nights & Early Mornings – 28,000 – This brings the lump sum to approximately 165,000. I’d love to see Marsha top out at 300,000 (which are great sales these days). LNEM is definitely a must have for those one-on-one evenings.

14. Nicki Minaj – Pink Friday – 25,000 – She just keeps selling. 1.2M and climbing. 

35. Kanye West – My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy – 11,000 – I knew Watch The Throne wasn’t going to drop March 1. Still, ‘Ye is platinum off his fifth LP with “All Of The Lights” being played every five minutes.

45. Raekwon – Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang – 9,400 – I’ll give all the credit in the world to The Chef. He has appeared rejuvenated over these past couple of years. The numbers may not reflect it, which is a travesty in its own right, but true fans of Rae couldn’t be more happy he’s constantly releasing projects keeping Wu-Tang’s name alive and well.

107. Rick Ross – Teflon Don – 4,400 – Look who snuck back on to the charts. Someone must have saw my tweet about “I’m Not A Star” and acted on it.

174. Lecrae – Rehab – 2,600 – What you don’t see here is that this guy is nearing the 100K sold mark and he’s completely independent. Gotta respect the hustle.

What happened to Bruno Mars? I stop doing this for two weeks and the brother completely falls off the charts. I blame this on me.
