5. B.o.B. – Strange Clouds – 76,000 – Grand Hustle’s guitar playing bandit lands at the top of the charts. I would say this album was under promoted, but “So Good” is certified platinum. Somebody’s out there listening.

17. Nicki Minaj – Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded – 21,000 – Give Nicki two weeks and this album will be 500K deep.

20. Santigold – Master Of My Make Believe – 18,000 – I’ve heard from a couple of people this album is well worth the listen. I guess I’ll find out for myself at some point in the near future.

31. Drake – Take Care – 12,000 – I’ll say it. It’s not many people in music – regardless of genre – that’s making better music than this fella Graham right now.

32. Future – Pluto – 12,000 – I’ll always wonder how much of a bigger song “Same Damn Time” would have been had it had another rapper featured on it. Ross, maybe?

63. Young Jeezy – TM103 – 6,200 – At nearly 600K in the books, I’m interested in what Jeezy has in store for Freddie Gibbs now. He did say he was “the next to blow” in “We In This Bitch.”

98. Jay-Z & Kanye West – Watch The Throne – 4,000 – Completely unrelated to this album (because I’ve said basically everything there is to be said about it already), but did you see Beyonce and that dress? I’m not sure how I feel about her winning a journalism award, but man. MAN! Jay-Z is one lucky, lucky, lucky bastard man.
