7. Drake - Take Care - 77,000 - Here's news that was actually news earlier this week. Drake's platinum. Completely off topic though, I'd like to see him drop a "9 A.M. In Dallas" type track to address all the hoopla that's going on now. 9. Rihanna - Talk That Talk -...

3. Adele - 21 - 187,379 - You know what time it is. Nothing to see here other than the fact she officially surpassed the 5x platinum mark this week. And in roughly another five or six, she'll be saying hello to 6x. Just in time for the Grammys. 4. Justin Bieber - Under...

2. Adele - 21 - 143,597 - Just get used to seeing her name on this post. I say this every week, but what she is doing is nothing short of amazing. And she'll be five times platinum next week. I hope she's bringing a suitcase to the Grammys because that's the only way...

3. Rihanna - Talk That Talk - 198,000 - I had a conversation with someone the other about Rihanna's sales and how they were disappointing. Well, to be honest, they're not. She's one of those artists who can sell consistently. And truthfully, she's probably got seven or...

1. Drake - Take Care - 631,000 - Considering Thank Me Later did roughly 447K first week, it is safe to say Aubrey has not hit the sophomore slump. 11. Childish Gambino - Camp - 52,000 - You know, in all actuality, this number may be more surprising than Drake's. Then...

1. Mac Miller - Blue Slide Park - 144,000 - What more needs to be said that already hasn't? Clap for that man whether you're a fan of his music or not. 15. Wale - Ambition - 41,000 - So Wale's over the 200K sold mark and he just released the "Tats On My Arm" video. I...

Indie rapper Mac Miller's first album, "Blue Slide Park," debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, selling 144,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan. While it didn't shift as much as some industry sources had expected ( 180,000 was the projection), he still can lay...

1. Justin Bieber - Under The Mistletoe - 210,293 - And we're off to the races. Baby rumors be damned, Bieber is back at home at the top of the charts. Seriously, and I'm not one to speak of God's children, but I'm pretty sure all of the girls his age that fling themselves...

2. Adele - 21 - 110,575 - Unbelievable for two reasons. One, she'll be 4x platinum next week. Two, well, you know what the other one is. 9. Lil Wayne - Tha Carter IV - 45,189 - This looks to have a permanent spot at the top of the charts. That said, here comes the next...

Rihanna gets dirty while shooting the video for “We Found Love,” the first single from her upcoming album Talk That Talk, in Northern Ireland. The pop goddess dances in the mud and makes out with her co-star, British boxer-model Dudley O’Shaughnessy, in a vintage...

5. J. Cole - Cole World: The Sideline Story - 54,000 - A pretty drop in numbers still has Cole in the top five. Not bad, but it's almost time for that next single. 6. Lil Wayne - Tha Carter IV - 53,000 - Apparently, Wayne isn't safe in Miami anymore. That's still not...

1. J. Cole - Cole World: The Sideline Story - 217,000 - I'm bias, so I'm happy as f*ck Cole did these numbers. His whole team is good people. Hopefully he listens to be people's requests and drops the video for "Nobody's Perfect." 7. Lil Wayne - Tha Carter IV - 68,000 -...

1. Tony Bennett - Duets II - 179,317 - The man's a living legend with this number one album added to a list of achievements already 100 miles long. Respect. 3. Adele - 21 - 116,859 - She's going to be in the top five for foreseeable future. I can't wait to see what her...

2. Adele - 21 - 119,183 - I'm probably never not going to not include Adele on this list because her numbers are downright impressive. As redundant as it sounds, selling 100K in this age and after the album's been out for this long is making some A&R very, very happy...

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...
