1. Adele – 21 – 76,000 – There’s great news and then there’s good news. The good news is even though she’ll be knocked out of the top spot next week by ‘Ye-Z, she’ll probably still be top three. The great news? She’ll be three times platinum next week.

13. Kelly Rowland – Here I Am – 25,275 – Respect to Kelly, because I expected a bigger drop off than this. Asking her to repeat a single with the success of “Motivation” is impossible. However, a quality second one would be a good way for her to close the summer out (i.e. maybe the Big Sean record).

43. Eminem – Recovery – 10,149 – Give this about two weeks (three at the very most) and Marshall will have another platinum plaque to collect. This time for four million in sales. He also has two other albums that are diamond still in the top 200 as well. 

60. Chris Brown – F.A.M.E. – 7,621 – I see that record “Wet The Bed” with Luda is hitting radio now.

128. Bob Marley & The Wailers – Legend – 4,126 – This is diamond, for the record. The Marley clan is still eating and still pushing out babies. Just ask Rohan and Lauryn.

143. Wu-Tang Clan – Legendary Weapons – 3,659 – Had this been the 90’s, these sales would be through the roof. Unfortunately, many of those people who lived and breathed by the words of the Wu, wore the clothes and watched the old school karate flicks now work 9-5’s and are trying to put their kids through college. That part of them is still there though. Hidden.
