Consider this the happy hour edition of “Billboard Breakdown.” The first drink is free before 8 p.m. EST.

1. Adele – 21 – 77,130 – The songbird appears to get more and more popular as the weeks go by and the numbers prove such. With over 2.75M already scanned and in households across America, she’s still moving 77,000 a week.

5. DJ Khaled – We The Best Forever – 52,914 – Probably not the numbers Khaled wanted to see, but pretty much expected from my seat in the arena. “I’m On One” is still my favorite single of the summer, if that’s any consolation.

9. Amy Winehouse – Back To Black – 37,332 – After not even appearing on the charts last week, the deceased star’s Back To Black lands at the nine spot. Her death all but guaranteed a spot in the top 10, so I guess Jadakiss was right. “Controversy sells, but not like death.”

25. Jill Scott – Light Of The Sun – 259,191 – Congrats to Jill for this. 300K looks more like a formality than a goal now.

27. Big Sean – Finally Famous: The Album – 14,340 – He better go on and drop that “Marvin Gaye & Chardonnay” video while the getting is good. “Ass,” too. 

66. Miguel – All I Want Is You – 6,708 – For some reason, I expected this to be gold by now. It was a still a good album nonetheless.

130. Cee Lo Green – The Lady Killer – 4,119 – At 400K sold, it’ll take awhile for The Soul Machine to reach half-a-milli, but he’ll get there. For the record, “F*ck You” still sounds as fresh as it did this time last year.

157. Eminem –The Marshall Mathers LP – 3,390 – Yep, still on the charts a decade later.
