7. Drake – Take Care – 77,000 – Here’s news that was actually news earlier this week. Drake’s platinum. Completely off topic though, I’d like to see him drop a “9 A.M. In Dallas” type track to address all the hoopla that’s going on now.

9. Rihanna – Talk That Talk – 54,000 – Like I’ve said before, she’ll just keep her sales consistent. She should be gold at some point in January.

23. Mary J. Blige – My Life II: The Journey Continues – 39,000 – That “Mr. Wrong” track is picking up steam. At the right time, too. Trust me, they’ll be some group of single females singing that song as the ball drops in a few weeks.

26. Snoop Dogg & Wiz Khalifa – Mac & Devin Go To High School – 38,000 – I didn’t expect this to break the charts mainly because the promotion for this wasn’t exactly intense. That being said, this album isn’t bad. Check it out since you’re about to have a long weekend coming up. 

49. Jay-Z & Kanye West – Watch The Throne – 22,000 – Percentage wise, what’s the over/under these two are sick and tired of performing “Niggas In Paris”?

61. The Roots – undun – 18,000 – They’re at 67,000 right now. I’d like to see this surpass the 100K mark.

78. J. Cole – Cole World: The Sideline Story 14,000 – Get Cole to 500K (he’s at 463K right now)! That said, a new single would be great.

87. Wale – Ambition – 13,000 – “Slight Work” is a banger. Heard it officially last weekend at a club and came away quite pleased.

Next week is the moment of truth. Common and Jeezy go under the sales microscope. And I’m hearing Young may put up some rather lofty numbers.
