1. Eminem & Royce Da 5’9 – Hell: The Sequel – 170,868 – First and foremost, congrats to Nickel 9 on his first #1 album. Yeah, say it’s because of Eminem, and while that may be true, I’ll just give credit where it’s due.

3. Adele – 21 – 114,540 – Adele can do no wrong at the moment and she has two things to prove it. One, obviously, her music. Two, she has 2.3 million other people who think she has dope enough music to spend their hard earned cash on. I’m still trying to go see her in concert.

5. Lady Gaga – Born This Way – 67, 590 – She just keeps going platinum and selling shows. And quite frankly, I don’t see that changing anytime soon.

25. Tech N9ne – All 6’s and 7’s – 18,100 – I’d love to see Tech sell 150K on this with no type of real push mainstream wise. He’s already halfway there.

30. Justin Bieber – My World 2.0 – 14,292 – What is going to be interesting to see about J. Bieber is if his fans will grow with his music. For now though, The Fever is alive and well and has him creeping up on three times platinum. Oh and for the record, his acoustic album is 653,000 deep and #106 on the charts.

77. Marsha Ambrosius – Late Nights & Early Mornings – 7,900 – To date, this album has sold 314,609 copies. That’s amazing. I didn’t think it was over the 200K mark. Regardless, congrats to one of my personal favorite singers out there.

126. R. Kelly – Love Letter – 4,882 – Kelz is creeping up on 600K on an album that I think was under-promoted (I could be wrong though). That’s consumer confidence if I’ve ever seen such. I’m not mad at all and this all but guarantees a new album either at the end of the year or top of 2012.

134. Lil Wayne – Tha Carter III – 4,490 – Just thought I’d like to point out nearly 4500 people last week bought Weezy’s album…that came out in 2008. 3.6M and counting.

143. Eminem – Marshall Mathers LP – 4,198 – This probably stemmed from the fact he and Royce had the #1 album in the country, but still. This came out in the year 2000! You want the exact numbers? 10,449,903.
