3. Lonely Island – Turtleneck & Chain – 68,000 –
I have still yet to listen to this, but hopefully there is something half as funny as “Jizz In My Pants.” That’s a classic.

5. Tyler, The Creator – Goblin – 46,000 – Considering the fact he and his gang are on every website both sides of the Mississippi, these numbers are surprisingly low. Then again, he’s still independent (I think) and no real radio play to my knowledge, the numbers aren’t all that surprising. I’ll leave it at that.

6. Beastie Boys – Hot Sauce Committee Pt. 2 – 42,000 – They’re still top 10 on the charts for the second week in a row. If they top off somewhere around 350,000K, consider that a huge win.

17. Bruno Mars – Doo Wops & Hooligans – 20,000 – A million copies shipped, sold and gone. 

22. Wiz Khalifa – Rolling Papers – 16,000 – What are the chances we get a video for “The Race”?

45. Eminem – Recovery – 10,000 – Nearly a year after the album hit shelves, the album is still on the charts. Who are the 10,000 people who woke up that morning waltzed to Best Buy and decided to right their wrongs? Regardless, that’s just the power of Eminem. I’m not hating.

83. Lil Wayne – I Am Not A Human Being – 5,700 – Weezy’s about 123,000 south of platinum. It’ll take some time before it gets there, but not bad for an album that was meant to create anticipation for his release from prison. Now he just has to build more for C4. I wonder if he and Khaled can just both put “I’m On One” on their respective albums. That is a clear cut summer anthem.
