1. Lil Wayne – Tha Carter IV – 219,000 – Of course he wasn’t going to do 964K again, but Weezy’s well on his way to double platinum with this. Pending “She Will” picks up the way many expect it to and he has a suitable follow up single, C4 will be on the charts for a good minute. And that’s not even considering the songs he will inevitably be featured on over the coming months. It’s a science to this.

5. Jay-Z & Kanye West – Watch The Throne – 49,000 – I hear “N*ggas In Paris” and “Why I Love You” are the next singles. Not bad. I’m definitely interested in seeing how the latter’s video would come out given the people he’s referring to.

8. Beyonce – 4 – 25,000 – Mama B. It really doesn’t even matter what she chooses to go with as the next single. Given she’s got another life growing inside of her now, however, she may want to pick one that doesn’t have her bouncing off the walls. 

18. Game – The R.E.D. Album – 19,000 – Yeahhhh, this won’t sniff platinum anytime soon, so Game’s streak of platinum albums stops at three. Still, it’s a dope album and one of the better ones I’ve heard this year. I’m still calling for a video to “Ricky.”

25. Pitbull – Planet Pit – 14,000 – Pitbull woke up one morning and saw making rap music wasn’t for him, hit the pop world and hasn’t looked back since. I don’t blame him one bit.

60. Wiz Khalifa – Rolling Papers – 6,300 – 570K and climbing. Seriously though, shoot a video for “The Race” and/or “Star Of The Show.”

107. Ace Hood – Blood, Sweat & Tears – 3,700 – If he can somehow get to 100K, that has to be a win in Khaled’s eyes.
