I’ll speak on the elephant in the post before we get going. I can’t wait to see what Tyler, The Creator’s numbers look like next week. Anyway, on to what we all came here for.

2. The Beastie Boys – Hot Sauce Committee Pt. 2 – 127,833 – If I told you one of Hip Hop’s most legendary groups who have been in the game for four decades would land at near the top of the charts, what would you say? Hell no, right? Wrong. You know how many artists would love to do 125K+ their first week? Are you tired of the questions yet?

14. Bruno Mars – Doo Woops & Hooligans – 25,603 – I guarantee Bruno will be over a million sold this time next week because that 25,000 you see right here has him officially at 997,430. Bruno’s officially a pop star now.

23. Wiz Khalifa – Rolling Papers – 19,357 – Wiz’s pushing near 400K on his debut album is a sign that we’ll see a follow up probably at the top of next year. In the meantime, how about we get that How Fly 2 with Curren$y? The first one still is in rotation. 

36. Nicki Minaj – Pink Friday – 14,165 – 1.3M and climbing. Darling Nicki just released her “Super Bass”  and at this point the album is just going to sell itself unless she decides to release her “Fly” video with Rihanna. In related YMCMB news, Wayne’s I Am Not A Human Being is still on the charts clocking in at a shade over 870,000 copies scanned and gone.

151. Waka Flocka – Flockaveli – 3,471 – Say what you want, this album was hard as Chinese calculus. And it had FIVE hit singles.

166. Diddy-Dirty Money – Last Train To Paris – 3,251 – Puff is going to find a way to make money off this album, which like Flocka’s, wasn’t bad at all.
