2. Drake – Take Care – 42,000 – As one of the hot topics of the week, who knows how much of this is because of the Common “beef.” Either way, it hasn’t slowed down his attack on the Billboard charts.

4. Young Jeezy – TM103 – 36,000 – Like Drake, Jeezy’s been a hot topic this week based off another high profile release. Young’s still leaving his imprint on the charts though. **taps feet for “Supafreak” video**

6. Rihanna – Talk That Talk – 27,000 – Did you know Rih-Rih became the highest selling digital artist ever? Well, now you do.

17. Lil Wayne – Tha Carter IV – 17,000 – For as much as I hear “She Will” on the radio, it’s almost crazy to think they never shot a video.Wayne’ll be double platinum in a few weeks, by the way. 

19. Jay-Z & Kanye West – Watch The Throne – 17,000 – Has Jay-Z had the best week ever or what? He finalized a new business deal and, of course, there was that piece of news you may or may not have heard about him becoming a father.

38. J. Cole – Cole World – 9,600 – BOOM! Officially gold. And I heard my dude Cole was sitting court side at a recent Knicks game. Look at this dude, a bonafide star now. That’s dope.

40. Common – The Dreamer/The Believer 9,500 – Well, yeah. Prior to Blue Ivy, this guy was the biggest story in music. At least from a Twitter perspective.

90. Childish Gambino – Camp – 4,900 – He’s probably pocketing a good amount of change from this album, but I know quite a few people are happy he’s getting his acting job back.
