2. Adele – 21 – 143,597 – Just get used to seeing her name on this post. I say this every week, but what she is doing is nothing short of amazing. And she’ll be five times platinum next week. I hope she’s bringing a suitcase to the Grammys because that’s the only way she’s carrying all of her awards out at once.

3. Justin Bieber – Under The Mistletoe – 133,467 – Bieber’s slow but steady inclusion into “urban music” continues and there doesn’t seem to be anything stopping him. The youngster’s Christmas album appears to be selling like mad and should be platinum sometime in the near future. Maybe even before 2012.

4. Drake – Take Care – 90,175 – Add Aubrey to that list of artist who’ll be platinum before the year is up. And I’m hearing more and more steam for the album’s titled track to be pushed as a single. That’s fine and it’ll probably serve as a #1 smash too. Here’s to hoping a video for “Underground Kingz” surfaces as well.

6. Mary J. Blige – My Life II: The Journey Continues – 71,935 – The fact Mary’s been doing this for three decades now and she’ll still an in demand artist proves she is one of the GOAT’s.

7. Rihanna – Talk That Talk – 68,183 –  I knew I was tripping when I said “We Found Love” was a hot record. Even Cam’ron agrees with me. 

42. Jay-Z & Kanye West – Watch The Throne – 20,020 – Still no new videos from the album, although they’re on pace to perform “Niggas In Paris” 345,672 times on tour.

54. Mariah Carey – Merry Christmas – 16,028 – You may be asking what’s this? Just know “All I Want For Christmas Is You” is a dope holiday record and this album is five times platinum. I know, you learn something new everyday.

72. Yelawolf – Radioactive – 12,474 – It should be really interesting to see what’s the next song Yela decides to push from this album.

73. J. Cole – Cole World: The Sideline Story – 12,419 – Officially gold. Clap for this man and his team. Not many more people in the industry who deserve the success they’ve achieved this year than them.
