1. Usher – Looking 4 Myself – 128,099 – How crazy is this? Usher lands at #1 this week and Bieber lands at #1 next week. Racks on racks on racks. In regards to the album, I’ve heard mixed reviews. To me, it’s a cool album. Something for everybody on there. Of course this doesn’t spell “classic,” but yeah, something for everybody. And that record 40 did was nothing short of amazing.

3. Adele – 21 – 62,797 – Look, seriously, who is still buying this album? That’s not coming from a hateful place. It’s just un-f*ckin-believable people are still buying this record after damn near 10M albums sold and a small village worth of Grammys.

10. Waka Flocka – Triple F Life: Fans, Friends & Family – 33,179 – “Lurkin'” >>>>>>>

20. Kid Ink – Up & Away – 19,767 – My boy Justin has been singing this guy’s praises for like three years now. I should probably give him a call and see if he’s one of the 19,767 who bought the album.

31. Big K.R.I.T. – Live From The Underground – 12,101 – Straight up, I wouldn’t mind seeing a video for “If I Fall” with Melanie Fiona. A nice little summer track with a message.

54. Drake – Take Care – 8,931 – He’s had an interesting month, huh? I’m pretty sure he’s done promoting this album via the music video route, but one for “Underground Kingz” would be cool. That + some new music with the OVO Fest coming up? Not a bad promotion.

57.  Rihanna – Talk That Talk – 8,793 – This latest controversy (one in which she wasn’t even in the club) will probably push her to platinum. She’s only 80K away. Plus, I’m pretty sure she’s got one more single from this album.

96. Beastie Boys – Licensed To Ill – 5,395 – Look what I found in the middle of the Top 200. Five times platinum, plus.

112. Justin Timberlake – FutureSex/LoveSounds – 4,735 – Look, I’m on the Bieber bandwagon. But J.T. – from Justin to Justin – some new music would be MUCH appreciated homie. This album dominated Fall 2006 and Spring 2007, by the way,

121. Future – Pluto – 4,472 – C’mon man. “You Deserve It” or “Turn On The Lights” as the next single needs to happen.
