1. Adele – 21 – 246,529 – I’ve run out of compliments to give Adele. This is just ridiculous now. FYI, she’ll be 8x platinum next week.

2. Whitney Houston – Greatest Hits – 112,065 – No real surprise here either. Whitney’s daughter is getting everything though. And everything as in ev-er-y-thing.

6. Tyga – Careless World – 37,413 – I hear “Faded” is probably looking like the next single. Good move.

8. Drake – Take Care – 29,832 – Is it me or has it been a minute since Drizzy dropped some new music? Now imagine what the net will do if he does one of those “drop-a-track-at-4-a.m.” again.

9. Rihanna – Talk That Talk – 25,302 – If Rih-Rih shoots a new video for this and there’s a clip of her eating rice cakes, Twitter may break.

27. Jay-Z & Kanye West – Watch The Throne 15,109 – With all this talk of a sequel, what I really want to hear is a video for “Who Gon’ Stop Me” is being filmed. 

28. Estelle – All Of Me – 15,108 – Lowkey, Estelle’s put out some hit records over the years. I’d expect one or two more are found on here.

83. J. Cole – Cole World: Sideline Story – 7,308 – Man, listen. “Grew Up Fast” was something serious, and while it wasn’t on the album, it shows Cole’s still got some stuff up his sleeve. In terms of the album, I have been hearing “Nobody’s Perfect” on the radio a lot lately. Good.

139. Dr. Dre – The Chronic 2001 – 4,326 – I’m not sure who these 4,000+ people were who  purchased the album this past week, but they were just put on to some classic music. And there isn’t a damn thing wrong with that.
