3. Adele – 21 – 76, 717 – She’s eating right now and one of the more respected names in music. If she can keep sales somewhere at this pace, she’ll be three times platinum by the fall. Her previous album, 19, is also #32 on the charts. That’s platinum too, by the way.

5. Beyonce – 4 – 72,283 – Damn, I was wrong. She’s two thousand copies away from 500K, but that early leak killed her sales. She’ll still eventually get to platinum, but  not the way she probably envisioned.

18. Big Sean – Finally Famous: The Album – 17,692 – Yep, time to focus on that project with Spitta and Wiz.

38. Wiz Khalifa – Rolling Papers – 10,273 – Speaking of Mr. Rose, he’s officially gold now. And still no signs of a video for “The Race.” 

49. Lloyd – King Of Hearts – 9,913 – I can’t say he didn’t get promotion because that “Lay It Down” track was played every five minutes it felt like. I rock with Lloyd, but I didn’t even see where this album leaked online. And I’m guessing shooting a video for that song with 3000 is out of the question, right?

63. Barry Manilow – 15 Minutes – 7,572 – Just felt like putting this here.

72. Pimp C – Still Pimping – 6,501 – This is another album I need to take a listen to. If it’s worth it, I’m copping it.

142. Lady Gaga – FAME – 5,925 – Four times platinum and still climbing. You know, just in case you were wondering.

    beyonce also broke from her usual style which was a risky move…

    I really enjoyed 4 though. A lot of people didn’t so maybe word of mouth effected it, but I love hearing King B sing about how in love she is. I think it’s beautiful.

    Adele is killing the game. I haven’t seen someone sell like this since…well, hell idk! Idek if my ace Taylor (Swift) was selling that after her milli.

    I don’t count Gaga’s first milli cuz they were 99 cents. How the hell wouldn’t you go platinum?
